American UFC bantamweight fighter Corey Sandhagen commented on his victory over Rob Font in the main event of UFC on ESPN 50 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Initially, Sandhagen was supposed to fight Umar Nurmagomedov, but the Russian dropped out due to a shoulder injury two weeks before the tournament.

“I wanted to show a more spectacular performance, but lately I have had a lot of problems with the elbow joint and it seems that I tore my triceps in the first round. Apparently, now I have become a wrestler, sorry.

Of course I want a title fight. What other options do I have? Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley, see you in Boston. Now I am the next contender,” Sandhagen said after the fight.
