Btw Sandhagen I find it crazy that the guy that you dominated for 5 rounds is getting a title shot after beating pedro. Cant wait to see you back in the octagon
Lol bro you have to realize its only happening because cory is injured. If you train mma and have ever got injured youll see injuries take a while to recover. The UFC has to move on if they dont fans say O malley just a sitting champion.
@@kingrichy0908 Be that as it may, Dvalishvili would've made far more sense than Vera. I know the UFC wants to build some kind of storyline with him and O'Malley, but who even remembers their first fight?
@@dick-gs9tb i think merab or cory shouldve been next trust me but the hype is already building w vera and o malley & at the end of the day its about whats selling more.
because they're protecting O'malley from his hardest style matchups. Same reason Merab isn't getting the shot and has to fight Cejudo, there's no way Merab wasn't the #1 contender after what he did to Yan last fight.
suga is famous so dana let's him call the shots
Pereira vs Strickland was 2022💀
Then go and cry 😢
Facts. Could’ve put Emmett-Mitchell in there
@@mikeg103 100%
@@jericho-tubewhy even comment that lmao “then go cry😢” makes no sense to his comment. His emoji even made it so he was laughing….lol like bruh
1:22 gave Sean props then said he’ll woop his ass 😂
That fight will be exciting
If I have to pick a bantamweight to rep me in death by combat I'm taking Cory every time. His ability to adapt to every fighter and then adjust for specific scenarios is SO rare, beautiful to watch him evolve every fight.
pereira strickland was in 2022 why you hating cory? why did you put that in your thumbnail. does your wife hate strickland, or is it you?
@@ItsameAlex Haha bro you replied to my comment, you add a comment at the top. Cory doesn't make the thumbnails btw, he has a producer.
@@ItsameAlex the videos on your channel of you trying to pick up women with that horrendous receding hairline are hilarious. No wonder you're so mad
Sean Strikland's loss to Alex was in 2022. Time flies!
Yeah I was just about to say this like. How did all of Alex career happen one year lol
Is that the smoke / fire alarm beeping ???!
What ever it is, it makes my Dog anxious !!! 😂💀
elias’s impressions of fighter styles are crazy accurate 😂😂😂😂

0:39 - Sterling vs O'Malley

Great informative watch on Christmas Eve. I appreciate your love and understanding of MMA. You truly embrace the essence of the ART of fighting. These were my top knockouts top with other honorable mentions.
cool channel, I was a fan of your fighting style but seeing how cool and authentic you are, now im invested! subscribed and lets go Cory!
Loving these
Great technical breakdowns. I wish more fighters were willing to deliver this kind of insight. Outstanding content.
Great analyses! Thanks Sandman
Just found your channel Cory you’ve been my favorite fighter for a couple years now! Enjoying the vids
“Someone that’s built like an Aztec God” 😂😂😂 this is about to be one of the top mma CZcams channels.
Nice!!!! good list man
love your channel. awesome guy. subscribed
This video made me a new subscriber. Keep up the fun content 😁
love the content !
Youre breaking through the algorithm. Keep getting your stuff recommended to me, not complaining! Love your style
Well done sandman. You got great breakdowns and takes. Very nice. Keep up the good work. Go out there and win that belt. We know you can.
Really showing ur CTE by including the Alex vs Strickland KO 👍🏼
Yeah that was 2022 right?
great content man! Love the breakdowns from actual great fighters, awesome 🔥🙏
And active!
Not Cejudo talking a big game on his channel doing next to nothing for the sport
It's insane how well the way you act out these KO's actually resemble the real KO's. Excited to see you fight again, keep it up! 🔥
Papiigio taught him all he knows
keep the videos coming
Good video 👌
Holloway vs Korean zombie and rountree vs Smith were crazy
Enjoying your breakdowns Cory - maybe you could show a bit more footage in situations like this when breaking down the fight. drag it out it a bit for entertainment, more with different angles, a couple of times in real time from different angles and the phantom shots. (i’ve worked in sports media for 20 years) Merry Christmas mate.
“Like a 5 year old hitting his first nail” 😂 😂 😂
Love the content Cory. I think a match up between you and Suga would be amazing!
Thank you for your content I’m a big fan and appreciate your insights. 2024 is strap season for the sandman
you have a great channel bud
Happy new yea cory🎉
Idk what this 'channel' business is about, I just turned the dial to my favorite station per usual
Quality stuff Sandman 👌🏻 ...i can see you as the Dominater replacement on espn
to cory and everybody here, happy holidays and merry christmas
I love Sandhagen..his style is dope 👌🏾
Cory vs Suga is gonna be one hell of a fight
I think Izzy knocking out Pereira was my favorite of the year. Just the entire storyline of Izzy already losing 3 times, him getting TKOd not that long ago, and this seeming like Izzy's last chance then BAM, knocks him out while people thought Izzy was about to get finished again. Then the celebration on top of that. Absolutely legendary stuff, such an insane moment.
I wish you were joking, so glad izzy got beat up by sean!
@@christianlachniet5785 Crazy that someone would admit that you enjoy specifically seeing someone who lives rent free in your head lose rather than seeing the person that you like win.
You're just telling on yourself right out in the open.
Great job, quoting your hero! Rent free, next thing I'll be frozen like elsa!
@@christianlachniet5785doesn’t change the fact that Izzy sent Pereira to the shadow realm. Cry 😢
“Too 5” holds up 10 fingers.. 😂 love the content man I agree
This is the best MMA content on youtube right now, cant wait to see you fight again Cory.
Hey Cory! I'd put Umar vs Barcelos and Tsarukyan vs Dariush on my list. Identical KOs from different sides. I thought it was genius to throw a knee to the chin (to get opponent to raise his chin) and and almost simultaneously hitting with a cross/hook from the same side. It doesn't matter if the knee hits anything. It's the motion of the head coming up and being twisted by a punch you'd never see coming. Not to mention, the punch needs minimal power. Which is obviously hard to generate from that position. It's all timing. Beautiful to watch.
He getting ready to fight umar he can’t give him props
Been a huge fan of yours ever since you put on a boxing clinic on Austin Arnett. That was a beautiful display of angles and footwork, my favorite style of fighting in MMA
you know pereira strickland was in 2022 change your thumbnail
Can’t wait to see you and Suga throw down. Fight of the year!
For Ko #3 Dustin vs Justin although I agree with you that Dustin got his hand up in time and Justin has more power than most at that division, I feel it was important to mention that it was the perfect placement of the kick that ko’d Dustin. Even though Dustin blocked the kick on his face, he only blocked the shin and the foot wrapped around to create quite the impact on the back of the head and neck area and you can see it does not have the top of the head baby legs effect, it has the sleeper effect. Great breakdown Cory I love your work in and out of the octagon, stay blessed!
Love you Cory
Josh also has the most brutal KO of the year by FAR on Bryce. Thats a top 10 KO in UFC history honestly. Thought Bryce was gonna be wheelin the rest of his life after watching him seize up like that.
You must’ve missed his Lamas and Michael Johnson KOs.
Whenever you talk about shots to the temple and people getting wobbly it reminds me of turner vs green earlier this month and also aspinall vs pavlovich, both got hit hard in the temple and were super unstable
you know pereira strickland was in 2022 change your thumbnail
Glad to see someone from Smoky Hill doing their thing. Represent ACO all day brotha man! Keep whooping ass and taking names.
Big fan Sandman! Now one thing I don’t think gets talked about in the Po Atan Vs Strickland fight is Sean’s habit of over feinting the push kick by lifting his knee at medium-close range. To me Pereira saw this habit and knew he’d be completely stationary for when he launches his signature left hook. Sure enough he timed the knee lift and slipped off the center line into his power hook. Thoughts??
Cory is analytical af and I appreciate it 👌
Sandman gotta be one of the top 5 personalities in the UFC. Modern day samurai ⛩️
3:07 he also kind of circled towards the kick like he was trying to meet the body kick half way. Not something you would usually try and do against a headkick. I have a habit of always chasing the outside of the lead leg for that reason. I have a tendency to get caught from spinning moves, but keep a high guard on the side they can spin on for that reason too. The key is to chase and cut off space at the same time. If you are close and covered it takes steam off the shots. Even spinning elbows don't have the same impact, but they certainly suck the most. Especially if they are thrown JBJ's style over the top to cut through the guard. The likelyhood of getting hit with something like that in short space is unlikely. Love these videos they keep me thinking and learning all the time, really appreciate what you do!
Fan of you and Sean both! Don’t know what I’ll do when you fight each other one day. Best artists in the Bantamweight division!
Oh 35 K subs ! Growing quite a bit recently ? 👍✊🙏
Imagine Cory Dressing as "the Sandman" villain of Spiderman in media day or press conference 😂
Great content. I would switch up the thumbnails to make them more appealing. You'll get more clicks from people who don't know you or aren't a fan. I clicked cause I'm a big fan.
Goat
haha the other guy was so spot on with imitating pereira and strickland
Sensei Cory 🥋❤
I gotta go with Izzy. That was something out of a movie. The danger, the knockout, and the celebration.
fluke omally better
@@cozy.elfenomenooooo you're crazy. Izzy took the biggest risk playing a rope-a-dope with arguably the hardest hitter in combat sports. It was no fluke. He trained that scenario over and over in camp. Just say you don't like Izzy and move on
That celebration was COLD
Josh KO'ing Bryce was infinitely harder lmao
@@cozy.elfenomenooooo ok delusional, was one of the most simples one right hand ko i ever saw loool u maybe never throw a simple punch in your life specially playing rope a dope
I love you too Cory.
Izzy vs Alex was KO of the year for me! Two striking kings going at it at the highest level and Izzy gets a KO on the legendary Poatan is insane🐲
Remember, everyone counted Izzy out. I can’t think of a time in combat sports history where a guy was down 3-0 and came back like that.
you are super cool sandman. i love you.
Nice u give omally probs. I rsspect that a lot due to he being the champ in ur devision and he is conteoversal
8:04 also good to point out that Alex chooses to keep his hands down so he can hide his punches with his movement. He leads with his hip first to get the parry reaction, so he reads the shot early, but throws it half a second after what you might expect. Alex is too dangerous at that range. Anyone who hangs out there long enough goes to sleep. He caught Jiri at the same exact distance for that short hook and threw it the exact same way when he was completely conscious against Sean and again against Jiri. Alex's auto pilot is insane. Alex reminds me a bit of Rich Franklin with his auto pilot looking almost the same in and out of consciousness. They are always dangerous unless they are out.
I don’t know why I felt like Cory always hated on Suga and not in a same division but I became way more of a fan after he gave where credit is due with giving suga his flowers. When I clicked I thought he was gonna avoid admitting it was one of the best KOs of the year tbh.. Can’t wait to see you back in the ring sandman! Happy holidays!!!!
Elias did a solid Perreira impression
Dude when u fight omalley that's going to be a big spotlight fight. The hype behind him and the height of u both will be good. Can't wait
Sean vs Cory is by far thebmost exciting fight in that division. Idk why it hasnt been made
I still audibly scream NOOO when pereira gets koed
Your round timer made me think my smoke alarm was going off 😂
Get that belt next year Cory!
if you like MMA you MUST love The Sandman
Oh man cory vs omally is gunna be amazing, gotta get through umar tho scary man
🔥
How the fuck do you not have more subscribers Corey? You’re the coolest cat out there. Genius mind too. Champ in 2024 too I’m calling it now 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Strickland Vs Pereira was summer 2022 Cory lol, good video non the less
Cory why didn’t you start with number 5 and work your way up? 😅😅
Does he have to ?😮😢😂😅
You know my boy Cory is unorthodox
I would like to see you at 145 and fight Max Holloway! That would be a banger!! Merry Christmas
Cory da sandman
Petition for sandhagen to walk out with Gara’s backpack in his title fight here 👇
also, you not like strickland? lol inlcuding a July 2022 KO in a 2023 KO wrap up video is kinda wild. he did dominate Izzy, who you did say was your favorite fighter lol so I mean.....
i'm a martial artist on the keyboard
you know pereira strickland was in 2022 don't front. Aww did he break your lil feelings by not having sjw scandicuck beliefs? awww he does't toe the woke line that's a shame
You Cool ninja and power strike powe pounc jump kick this is Cool
My KOs of the year:
Josh Emmett
Adesanya
Tommy Aspinall
Drakkar Klose
Ismael Bonfim
Gaethje
Islam
Barboza
torres vs motta
@@insano_squancho tf is that?
@@Polar-pencil a fight
i know it's recentcy bias, however the KO Josh Emmitt did to Brice Mitchell was the hardest punch at 145 ive ever seen
Emmett’s KOs on Ricardo Lamas and Michael Johnson were equally brutal. No one hits harder.
@@WarBrah just watched them now and no kidding. Hes a savage
Mate, strickland vs Pereira was in 2022. since then Alex has fought twice in MW and then twice in LW.
Could we get a fight breakdown between you and petr yan
Josh Emmets recent ko should be in this
Get someone that is not afraid getting hit when you demonstrate
Poatan vs Strickland was in the summer of 22 brotha 😂😂😂
Just switch it up with Emmett and it’s all good
Merry Christmas
I thought that the JEKA KO was the best, as well as the Saint Denise one.
I had to lookup Poatan vs Sean to make sure I wasn’t tweaking 💀
That Pereira Strickland KO was 2022 wasn't it?
I’d like to hear your take on josh emmet getting the ko on thug nasty
Built like a fuckin Aztec god - best description of Pereira physique!
YT unsubbed me. Might wanna put a reminder out for people to check.
4:00
i would say josh emmett vs bryce mitchell cuz the alex periera vs sean strickland is last years fight
