Sandhagen could change his weight class

Alexandr Ormanji | Published May 10, 2024, 6:53 a.m.

Cory Sandhagen, a fighter in the UFC's lightweight division, hasn't ruled out the possibility of changing weight classes in the future.

"At some point I'll definitely have some challenges at welterweight. I feel like I have all the credentials to fight in that division. Also, for the most part, I train with guys who weigh around 70 pounds. When I have to spar with fighters who weigh 61 kg, they seem tiny because I'm used to training with bigger guys. It will definitely happen in the future," said Cory Sandhagen in an interview on Mighty's YouTube channel.

Sandhagen's next fight will be against Umar Nurmagomedov.
