"We need better bouts. Sandhagen's bout with Nurmagomedov is a perfect matchup, but after Umar was forced to withdraw last time, then Corey started talking about constantly pulling out of fights. Sandhagen is spreading rumors about Umar being someone who pulls out of fights all the time, but look at the history and stats: he's only been injured twice. The accusations he made against Umar were unfounded, so that needs to be corrected," Bloody Elbow quoted Mendes as saying.
Recall, earlier there was information that Sandhagen and Nurmagomedov may fight at the end of June.
