Bisping: "Kudos to Sandhagen for taking a chance and accepting the fight with Nurmagomedov"

British mixed martial arts titleholder, analyst and commentator Michael Bisping has spoken out about Corey Sandhagen's decision to fight Umar Nurmagomedov.

The American and the Dagestani will fight on Aug. 3 in the main event of the UFC on ABC 7 show in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

"If we talk about contenders, Corey Sandhagen is one of them. He has proven that he is a worthy candidate, but he has to keep fighting to get his chance. There is no one more hungry and unstoppable than Umar Nurmagomedov. It's commendable that this guy is willing to take a chance and come out against Umar. It's a great fight," Bisping told TNT Sports.
