Dillashaw: "If Sandhagen beats Nurmagomedov, he'll be champion"

Dmitriy Kel June 7, 2024, 3:54 a.m.

Former UFC lightweight champion T.J. Dillashaw shared his expectations for the fight between Corey Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov, which will take place on August 3 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

"Corey is going to have a very tough fight. I think he should be champion by now, he would beat O'Malley easily. There is no opponent tougher for Shawn than Sandhagen. If Corey beats Umar, he'll be champion.

But it's gonna be very hard to get past Umar. I hope he can do it. But I don't like the way things are looking for Corey. Umar is a real animal. Awesome wrestler, knows how to keep his opponents on the ground. Umar is young but very good," Dillashaw told Jaxxon Podcast.
