Sandhagen’s confusion
“Why March? Fight earlier so that I can fight earlier.”
“I don’t think it’s the most favorable match-up for O’Malley, but I still think that O’Malley will likely win. March? I was hoping that they’d fight in January and then I’d be able to come back in like April or May or something.”
Sandhagen was then asked if this means he’ll take another fight in the meantime.
“I’ll see what they say, I guess. Yeah, I dunno, that’s a bummer. March? Damn.”
While Merab Dvalishvili and Aljamain Sterling are also waiting in the wings, this does leave plenty of questions for the UFC to answer. Sandhagen has always been a top prospect and while a few of his wins haven’t exactly been barnburners recently, he has the potential to do some real damage in a high-level title fight.
