It's actually pretty impressive that he was able to turn to wrestling on the fly and adapt and dominate thru an entirely different strategy than his initial gameplan
it was boring. I'm glad i switched to Boxing after rd 2
He did say wrestling was a big part of their gameplan anyway...
@@wes8398yeah but theres no way it was going to be that much wrestling.
@@GalactusOG Stay watching boxing, newfan, we do not want you.
@@likejimi5845 I think it would have been just as ground heavy... Just with some more g&p and sub setups than we saw. I enjoyed it regardless... Figured there was an injury at play though.
I love how Ariel is acting like he’s not the one that freaks out about Dana walkin out every time 😂
I think it's nothing really. If he was upset about a fight he would 100% make it known.
"i beat chito by a mile and i beat rob by 2 miles" underrated jab😂
why is nobody blaming Font for having zero takedown defense?
he was accepting takedowns like he's Charles Oliveira off his back(his BJJ is pretty good but not on a level to wanna go there)
Probably because Rob obviously didn't want it to go that way, where as Cory obviously did want it to go that way. I'm sure if Rob got what he wanted then he would have gotten back up. Nobody should be blamed though -- some fights just go like that.
Font avoided damage. Lay & pray with No damage is a Loss for both fighers and especially the fans
@@terryl9996 loss for both fighters hahahahahahhaha
Because youre looking at it through the wrong lense. No one cares that font got outgrappled. it was the fact that it was so boring.
@@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030exactly what we trying to say but people don’t get it
Cory is one of the best strikers in the UFC. For him to get that injury so early in the fight and still find a way to pull off a complete shut-out just shows how much of a complete fighter he is becoming.
he is 6 feet tall bro fighting dwarfs 🤣🤣
Yan gave him a striking class being way smaller than cory
I don't understand how you can dislike Cory. He has one of the highest fight IQ's right now and is so tenacious in the cage. Like an even better dom cruz
Relatively accurate comparison
@@brandonbonke8537relatively accurate comment, professor
@@pedrobandito2 relatively accurate comment on the comment, headmaster
the spirit of cruz went cruz -> dillashaw -> cory, it’s interesting to see in such a lanky frame
I dont care if there was an injury. That was a dominant victory over a very dangerous opponent. Gameplan or not this was incredibly impressive.
Yeah I was really impressed, it wasn't a barn burner but going 7 for 7 on TDs with that amount of control time at 135 is impressive
Yeah he executed what he needed to really well
I feel bad for corey honestly. Thats a brutal injury. Couldnt imagine fighting five rounds like that
Much less having the fans boo the whole time. He did what he had to.
I fell bad for how he lost so many potential fans and lost money.
@@GalactusOG he’ll never headline a show again after that
Antibiotics kills a few hundred thousand a year look it up😮😮😮
@@OG_Clarkeyhe will
Real fans can appreciate the performance Cory put on Saturday night. Put the division on notice that he’s willing to do anything to win and isn’t just a flashy striker
Exactly
He’s evolving, if this is just him now imagine him with more time & especially against the sterling rematch
Real fans don't respect Cory
"Real fans" 🤓
@@dickmonddickelheimer9452yes they do

Ariel is doing exactly what Jamahal was talking about. Showcasing his great display of the English language in an effort to walk Sandhagen into saying f*ck the fans. Cory was hip!
That's Cory's Psychology degree being able to give such a cool and level-headed answer. Such a chill dude.
Ummm Ariel is not the bad guy here, the clowns booing Cory are.
@@mrcfilms7235ariels a worm
I don't find anything wrong in what Ariel is doing. It's just a different aspect of journalism. He tries to spark a bit of controversy from time to time. It's the old school yard trick: You know what so and so said about you? Most people including Jamahal know what he is doing, it's just Ariel's way to get a controversial response from the competitors.
Ariel talks too much
I was at ufc Nashville. Its surreal to watch an operator like Cory control a fist fight. Even more impressive after hearing of the injury in the first.
I was there too. Rob Font got so completely neutralized that I was amazed. Cory Sandhagen is that guy.
I was there as well. Part of me feels like the booing was a result of the lack of knockouts throughout the night, but sandhagan dominated
@@crawfordhullender4505I was also there and almost every fight on the card was pretty trash, only fights I liked was diego, Suarez, and Billy Q rest of the fights sucked pretty bad
@@noodlesyoutuber Dustin Jacoby got a good finish as well. With that said, I'm glad I was able to make it to the Wonderboy/Pettis fight and miss this one.
@@2010narutovssasuke that fight was still dogshit lol but yeah horrible fight card but still enjoyed the experience a lot
Huge respect to this competitor! He's not a fighter he is a TRUE MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST and a damn good one at that. To dominate an incredible fighter the way he did under the pressure and injured. We need more like Corey Sandhagen!!! FACTS. Anybody booing can cry to themselves 😢😢😢. While he's awaiting another shot at the GOLD. 😅😅😅. LETS GOOO SANDMAN
In Pride and ONE FC he would be yellow carded and fined for stalling.
@@GalactusOG If GSP and Khabib's careers didn't teach you, then nothing will. Go back to boxing, casual.
@@mehck-gk9yn sorry to tell you kid but you're the "casual". Maybe you need to go back to watching grappling. GSP was constantly being criticized for not going for the finish. And to continue with that point there have been fighters who were winning in their careers but got cut for not being exciting. Doesn't happen often but it has happened. Lay and pray doesn't equal ground and pound or advancing there position.
@@larbear325 As if I'm gonna read your blogpost. Stay mad, newfan.
@@mehck-gk9yn couldn't think of anything relevant to say haha, got it.
Ariel calling someone disrespectful 😂😂
It takes one to know one
Stop disrespecting him.
I was definitely complaining during the fight, it wasn't the Cory I have seen. Of course, now knowing his injury I feel dumb for feeling that way but I also didn't know it happened. Respect to Cory for pulling out that win despite the injury and for remaining cool calm and collected while dummies like me are crying about his performance. This dude is the truth
At least youre honest
We all owe Corey an Apology
@@LegionWolves I mean kinda. It was a boring ass fight lets be real. Easily the most boring main of the year. He trained for Umar, they could have found a main replacement. Fighting with an injury like that is kinda dumb.
@@UsaRubberhe got the injury in the first round lol
@@Wrightae92 ah. I didnt bother watching most the video. Sandhagen always kinda been a boring fighter
Cory’s performance does not deserve any criticism, if anything it deserves praise …fighting with an injury, new and drastically different opponent on 2 weeks notice and got the job done. What a great mixed martial artist.
Great MMA brain also, reminds me of Cruz when he breaks stuff down…future in commentary for sure.
Mad props to Herzog. Cory saying that he asked him about it and noticed it is class. Great referee.
Herzog is by far the best Referee in the Ufc
Ariel is like that guy in the gym that compliments the fats chicks incase they end up getting fit and in shape.
All of Corey's fights have been bangers, this is mma so ish happens. Still excited to see him fight aljo merab or omalley.
I would want to see him fight Henry. If he does better than a split decision victory, he would’ve technically performed better than Aljo
It was a boring fight. It’s ok to say that. Corey did what he had to to win but let’s not act like fans can’t voice an opinion. Fight was trash. Is what it is. Ariel tries to cater to guests so they keep coming to his show instead of just saying yet not the best performance fan wise but a win is a win
He was injured tho
this ain't boxing lol
Why didn't font get up?
Because he was being dominated
for a none-casual it was amazing
@@ItsameAlex eh, it was impressive by cory for sure but it was still not a very entertaining fight to watch
Umar pulling out was a blessing in disguise with Corey's injury.
Was so upset at the crowd man I was there very casual thing for the people to do
It was a snooze fest, I was there also, I love when people like you call people casuals..What's your record? I guarantee you're not or ever been a prize fighter.
Any 2 people from the crowd could've started fighting and it would've been more entertaining.
@@Out-tha-mud- feel how you want two different opinions neither one of us are gonna back off our hill have a good day sir
@@Lamebred. I understand your opinion and respect it have a blessed one!
People pay for action, so I can understand the boos. Mad respect for him fighting through the injury.
Not the fight I expected to see but mad props to Cory for his dominant wrestling display! Hope that injury heals up quick!
Cory looking like he's giving an interview on how the Starcraft Esport bracket is going
Big facts. Looks like he is going to compete in a magic the gathering tournament
Cory’s very realistic, objective approach is really refreshing. Just 0 BS. Hope he gets the belt soon.
Great interview. This explains everything, and look forward to seeing Cory back doing the Cory thing.
(Was disappointed to watch, but understand now).
👍
Thnaks Corey!!!!!!! You really put the cherry on top of that card we absolutely love when there is 22 minutes of control time with 0 damage
What a badass. Been following MMA for a couple of years now, but a story like this is so impressive to me and really shows what type of warriors these guys (and girls) are.
Took zero damage, got W bonus. W x 2
Well technically he did take some damage he’s out for a year lol
@@Yardrecall209 nope, zero damage in the fight.
@@Imbalina Tore his tricep in the fight = 0 damage. absolute genius
@@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030 0
@@onlybetasgetoffendedbystri8030 Yup he';s gonna be out for a minute and guys like Cejudo/etc are gonna get multiple shots before him.
Wasn't the most entertaining fight but seeing the wrestling become a legit weapon for Cory is interesting. The floating on top any time Rob created movement was really nice!
Love the technical display
I will always tune in, maybe for the entertainment and questions.. but man Ariel is always trying to rile up the fighters
Corey seems pretty chill about the night and Ariel was not having it haha
Precisely why fighters like Hill can’t stand him. It’s worse that Ariel plays innocent 🐍. Props to Sandhagen for being a class act as usual.
@@ThePr0ducer he's still the best though, at least asks tougher questions vs other reporters But yes I always feel a bit uncomfortable after I noticed it
@@RickyTheCoolCatI wouldn't say the best
Ariel talks too much....
Wayyyyyyy too much
@@RickyTheCoolCat He only asks tough questions to cause controversy. That does not make him good, it makes him bitchmade.
Biggest bummer is that injury, he probably could have fought for the title but now I'd be he has to take one more in the spring of 2024 before he gets a shot. idk maybe pulling out would have been a better choice but either way, it's amazing he dominated a dangerous dude with one arm.
Cory brings it every fight and nearly always puts on a show. It was obvious he was hurt and playing smart - well played in the end.
Glad to hear him show respect to the GOAT: Jason Herzog
Cory Sandhagen all class..
More respect for him than even before!
Will be looking forward to his next big fight..
Cory is the man Plain and simple ,never hate on fighters kids Just shows your a Ahole! ✌️
Just keep winning. No one remembers or cares about GSP's "boring" approach anymore.
I do I constantly say how GSP was the most boring champion of all time dude finished 1 fight in like 7 years😂
@@drunkenmmamaster419 This what everyone bitched about when he was fighting. But now that his career is over, almost everyone agrees he is a top two or three GOAT.
@@MrTheLuckyshot and the same people call cowboy a bum when he was almost always in exciting fights, you aren't wrong
I remember bro. but yea he is still Goat. same with Izzy. If izzy doesnt pop hot he could do the same. But Jon always top Goat with PEDS included realistically their all on juice....
So impressive to be able to win at the highest of levels with a torn tricep! Can’t wait to see you fight and win the title in your next fight Cory!
I knew he was going to say, "It is what it is" (of course, if UFC fighter interview, therefore, it will be said) - but twice in the first answer? That's special.
Cipro is commonly used for cellulitis. It can cause spontaneous tendon ruptures for up to 6 months after use
shout out Jason Herzog ✊🏽 the best ref atm
I was at the event in Nashville. Was not proud to be mixed into that crowd and their reaction. Props to Cory, class act, heal up
For all mma fighters especially in the UFC. Get the win when you can. If you have an impressive win in your next showing you’re in a much better place than an “impressive” loss in the first fight.
I loved watching Corey’s fight !! And that he had such an injury - respect !!
Huh, did you see the co-main?
I really like Cory and he's definitely one of the best but I don't see how anyone could argue with Merab getting the next title shot if Aljo loses or moves up.
I think this might be my first comment on a CZcams video ever... I was at the fight in Nashville, and Mr. Sandhagen has the proper mindset, the crowd was fully appreciative of the fights earlier in the night that were grappling heavy, and kind of appreciated the bout in question (at least the jiujitsu peeps I was there with did). But when you're high up in the seats, you miss a lot of the nuance, and add that to the beer consumption and energy, and you have people who boo something they know is unreasonable. I would love to see more UFC events here in Nashville and one of them be Mr. Sandhagen again; I and many others here think he's very fun fighter to watch. Anyway, that's my two cents. Hope Mr. Sandhagen gets a shot at the title soon (I think he deserves it), and lord willin' and the creek don't rise, it happens in Nashville!! Thank you!
Nashville was ready to blow up for sandman. He let the whole building down. But this interview really clarifies what happened. Glad he got the W rob should’ve got up
Imagine thinking that wrestling is letting people down. I seriously wish some of these people would just switch to watching kickboxing.
@@americandissident9062that was not wrestling, that was nuthugging. People came to see a fight, not 2 homosexuals cuddling. Rob was not damaged or in danger at any moment.
@@brusli1732 Cry harder.
Huge respect. Love to see him winning.
Corey making that Jokic reference I love it. He can be Jokic all day and win no need to be flashy
I think it was the up elbow he threw while rob had his back toward the end of round 1
He always gives us great fights and finishes. Had one bummer night I think he should be fine. But never underestimate the shadiness of the UFC when it comes to belts.
I've been wanting to see Sandhagen vs O'Malley for a long time now. I think that match-up has the potential to be one of the most exciting fights that the UFC could put together. If Aljo moves up, let Henry fight Merab and let's get Cory & Shawn in the cage. I really really want to see that one while they are both in their prime! Let's get it done!
I also have been wanting that fight, so much more than anything with aljo
Cory is a savage, he was supposed to fight a Nurmagomedov …
what the F did y’all think he was training, he looked solid on the ground and definitely showed the rest of the division that he’s not just stand up.
Thank you to Cory for understanding why I was booing at the fights. What a cool guy with a deep understanding on life. Even bigger fan after this! No one would handle the “booing questions” with such maturity
When it comes to All-Around Skillset, and properly utilizing them... I think Cory is Top 5 in the UFC (all weight classes). I agree with Cory here... I think the crowd was not yet broadened enough to understand what they were witnessing. That'll change in time once Cory becomes champion... it's kinda like Volk at first. You don't know what you're witnessing until you see this guy beat Everybody. Cory vs Suga, or Cory vs Aljo would be Nuts!!
It’s not like Volk at all & Cory is certainly not top 5 in all weight classes for being all around. He may not even be top 20. He’s not a good wrestler, he was just a better wrestler than 2 strikers that were excepting to strike. His wrestling against Song was bad and that fight was even before it got stopped for the cut.
I was in Nashville I live there. I was cheering for you brother. Your a beast to fight thur a tore muscle like that. You’ll definitely be the next champ!!
Hugs and hugs
Future champion. I had no idea his ground game is up to par 😎.
I have degenerative discs in my neck and I had to quit bjj. Cory is a savage...
Corey did what he had too and tbh he impressed me with his wrestling control while injured.
Font had zero TDD. Didn't throw kicks or knees to deter the single leg and even possibly damage the arm. The ref should stood it up a few time as well. I know some people would say that's bailing the bad grappler out but he had to get to work. Herzog knew and let them play BJJ om the ground. Corey may have put himself 1 fight away from a title shot. He needs to heal. Then face Umar or a have 5 rounder with Mereb. By then Aljo should've lost the title or vacated it.
Huge respect to Cory! Any champion has a ,,boring'' fight every now and then. We are just used to see his unorthodox and fun fights.
Cory is such a stud. Great interview Ariel
Glad to see real fans show respect to Cory W community
No one doing the lords work and sharing time stamps? I’ll come back later lol 😂
Ariel : blah blah blah
Me me me....
Thumbs up if you cant stand Ariel but are only here for the fighters
As always Ariel taking any opportunity to try and get a fighter to talk bad about Dana lol
Wasn't Cory trying to elbow Font from behind with that arm in the first round with Font on his back? But his tricep was connecting more or less that commentary was saying?
He was but I don’t know if that would be what did it, your tricep is kinda not working when you strike something it’s more shoulder. I think it was him pulling so hard for the legs on the takedowns, theres a lot of fast twitch muscle that are used and then the squeezes after just rips muscles more
I was at the fight. I couldn't believe the boos. Mma isn't all about the kos. Yes it's more exciting to stand and bang but if anyone there was actually a fan they would've known that those fights happen. What did the crowd think would've happened if Umar would've fought.
Have you even watched one Umar fight? He finished 75% of his fights and doesn't just lay on top
I was there, we were pissed. Worst fight of the night. Ill give him a pass because of the arm
The crowd is not disrespectful in a sense, you have to realize these people play a ton of money and most of the normal people will probably only get to visit one event in their time. Its not his fault for being soo good on the ground nor is it the fans for being let down by the MAIN event. Just kind of the the way she goes
yeah, he won dominantly but even Aljo was saying it sucked and seems dismissive of Cory getting a title shot
@@MaestroJerichoWell that's Aljo for you. He's very unlikeable. I hope O'Malley beats him.
You da man sandhagen
Coming from the O’Malley interview man they kinda sounds like the same person😂
When Cory lay n prays in 1 fight he's boring, gets booed and has to explain himself but when GSP does the same thing for 90% of his career he's a goat.... Mkay
I'm a fan Corey, Dana apparently walked out because he wanted to prop you up as the next guy. You did what you had to do to win. One injury away from star power
@@thelucianiancuthe fight wasn’t good at all. He’s saying he wanted to prop Corey up in that fight but Corey let him down with how boring it was so he left
@@thelucianiancu whow your better fan than me
Again Ariel being a snake and trying to bait Cory into trashing Dana and the UFC 🤣 this is exactly why Jamahal Hill called you out
Yet you're here watching his videos, either you're a fan or you have absolutely no life 😂
I still think Cory has one more fight to a belt, and it still might be Umar. If aljo wins, I think he pursues 145, or tries, if sean wins they run it back. Heck, Cory may need to beat Merab, break the logjam. His timeline may actually help him, because a lot of the clutter should get sorted while he rehabs and put him on a favorable timing to fight for the belt.
its how you bounce back , Cory is a Top gangster
Cory’s face is foreshadowing the Ice Man moustache
Wrestling is not the issue, it's the lack of activity once on top, do damage, it's a fight, the goal is to try and end your opponent.
He had a torn tricep, I imagine he did what he could do while controlling
You do that with a torn tricep. He'll just go shoot takedown after
I'll tear both triceps and still whoop dude
The goal is to win, sure it may be uneventful sometimes but trying to finish someone isn't always easy when you have a torn tricep.
Dominated with one good arm
This guy is the opposite of Robbie Lawler.
Let's appreciate what Cory did here, with a round 1 injury in a 5 round fight and STILL able to hold his opponent down for 25mins is a huge achievement. For perspective, a similar thing happened to Gilbert Burns when he fought Belal, and Gilbert couldn't do anything, even though he is a far better fighter than Belal. It's only the casuals who see what Cory did and don't have a clue how technically brilliant he was. Congrats on the win Cory!
What time does he reveal what he said to Dana? I didn't see it. 🤷♂️
Been having trouble sleeping lately, but nothing puts me to sleep like an Ariel Helwani interview these days.
mil martin does comedy for the first time!
The name of this wrestler was Besik Kudukhov RIP
Fonts corner says you need a knock out and what does he do he stops punching and went for his own take down crazy.
I get why the crowd was upset it was a boring fight. Technically brilliant fight, the crowd had no way of knowing he had a injury. But also it’s up to Rob to try and defend takedowns.
He's got such a strategic mind
The nuemagomedovs are the pullout kings
Guy had like 5 most spectacular knockouts, one boring fight doesn’t make him a boring fighter…..
5:54
Good man
Ty
Appreciate that king
Are we sure they weren't booing Font's inability to stand up??
3:30 man i feel bad for him kinda. it was boring but hurting yourself for the fans....
CORY YOU ARE THE MAN!
When it happens to Belal though the fans on here attack him. But they make excuses for Cory. Belal didn’t even mention his ankle injury 1 time and people just defend Gilbert.
Ariel - why hasn’t TNT sports uploaded the fight replay wanted to watch Cory fight but didn’t stay up until 4am
Henri Vs Merb for number one Contender and winner fights for tittle next. I didn’t even finish watching the fight started watching the Diaz vs Paul card after the forth round. Was just a boring fight, respect to Cory for the Win and all especially if he was injured but the performance never left many people excited to see Cory fight for a tittle shot, UFC is a business first and doubt ufc will want to put that fight together. Merb vs Henri for number one Contender. Merb should be fighting Aljo for tittle already but has refused to fight him due to training together and being good friends, he needs to Man up and put that crap aside. Aljo and Merb should be like ok Bro let’s do this and collect a nice pay check togeather and may the best Man win.
respect
I was there and it wasn’t a super exciting fight, but each fighter is trying to win with minimal damage. It’s why such a large number of title holders are WRESTLERS. The boo birds have probably not watched much folkstyle wrestling.
Exactly. I was there to and I feel the same way.
The fight wasnt exciting at all. much less super exciting.
that "fight" w font was basically ben askren vibes
That was a great win considering he was injured.
