Our Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov predictions expect this fight to go the distance, with an upset outcome a real possibility.
Umar Nurmagomedov remains undefeated in his career, but Cory Sandhagen is no slouch and will push the Dagestani to his limits.The undefeated Nurmagomedov is the boogeyman of the division, but this is a major step up in competition against the No. 2 ranked bantamweight contender in Sandhagen.have the 10th-ranked Nurmagomedov as a massive -300 favorite, with Sandhagen coming back at +245. Here are my best free UFC Fight Night:It's understandable why Nurmagomedov is favored here.
Nurmagomedov is coming off a win against Bekzat Almakhan, who was making his promotional debut and is the 86th-ranked bantamweight in the world. Almakhan even managed to drop Nurmagomedov in the opening round, and while Umar quickly recovered and went on to dominate the fight, it'll be a lot tougher to do that against somebody like Sandhagen.
It's also worth noting while Nurmagomedov clearly has the advantage on the mat, Sandhagen's ground game is a tad underestimated. Don't forget in his last fight he had seven takedowns against Rob Font, and his athleticism and grappling will help him in scrambling exchanges.
