The number 2 ranked UFC Bantamweight fighter Cory Sandhagen is just coming from a win against Marlon Moraes by a second-round TKO. Before this fight, he lost the fight against Aljamain Sterling via submission that gave Sterling his title shot against Petr Yan.
If Petr Yan retained the championship then Cory Sandhagen is next in line for the title shot. In his latest interview with MMA, Junkie Sandhagen says, “I was supposed to say that happened this year, but that didn’t happen this year. So yeah, hopefully, it’ll happen next year,”
“I’m kind of in a groove where I’m not being too obsessive about any of that stuff. I think that it locks up my mind too much and it makes me uncreative. It doesn’t do a lot for me in my life other than creating stress that doesn’t really need to be there. Although that stress is good stress, in the past it’s kind of become something that’s a little too distracting.”
Cory Sandhagen is planning to beat the best guys
Although Sandhagen is eyeing the World Championship but he knows for that he needs to defeat the top-ranked guys. He added, “Of course I want to be a world champion, but I think I value higher just beating the best guys in the world, That’s why I’m really excited to fight Frankie because that would be a really big notch in my belt, and it would add to the resume even more.”
“I’m big, and I value very highly fighting the guys I see as some of the best guys in the world, and that’s what I want to do in the sport. If I’m a world champion, I think that will happen in time, but I’m more concerned with fighting the best guys so I can be the best fighter that I can by the time I retire.”
