Sandhagen named Nurmagomedov's main weakness

Top American UFC lightweight fighter Cory Sandhagen expressed the opinion that his nearest rival Umar Nurmagomedov has serious endurance problems.

It was previously announced that these fighters will meet on August 3 at a tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

"From a strategic point of view, I really want to fight Umar in a five-round fight because I don't know if you watched his last fight, but he's exhausted. He worked hard though, so I give him credit for that. Being that tired was pretty normal because he worked really hard and didn't relax too much.

But this fool was really huffing and puffing and whistling during the interview, so I think there's a vulnerability here that I can capitalize on," Sandhagen said on the MightyCast podcast.
