Fourth-ranked UFC bantamweight Cory Sandhagen spoke out about his upcoming fight with Umar Nurmagomedov, scheduled for August 6 at UFC on ESPN 50.
When I read comments, I'll scroll through and really only read the nice and ones and the second I get to a mean one I'm like ah I don't want that dumb stuff in my head so I stop reading them. 𓆉I do recall reading a few that were like oh you're going to bet outwrestled blah blah blah but at the same time I don't think that anyone can really name a time outside of the [Aljamain] Sterling fight where I was on my back for longer than 10-15 seconds.
