American UFC lightweight fighter Adrian Yanez has spoken out about the upcoming fight in his division between Corey Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov.
"It's hard to pick a winner here. It's going to be a tough chop. But if anyone is capable of beating Umar, it's definitely Corey. Sandhagen works hard and is getting better every day. That's why I think Corey will win. Umar is not an easy opponent, but Corey will do well," Yanez said in an interview with James Lynch.
Recall, Sandhagen and Nurmagomedov are scheduled to fight on August 3 in the main event of the show UFC on ABC 7 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
