The upcoming bout I’m most excited for in addition to UFC 284’s predominant occasion which stars Alexander Volkanovski and Islam Makhachev is the UFC battle night time Vera vs. Sandhagen.
Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera is shortly turning into one among my favourite fighters within the UFC and has carried out so not simply due to his preventing skill, however due to the individual he’s. ‘Chito’ looks like a down-to-earth dude. He loves his household and his residence nation of Ecuador. He’s good and respectful to everybody he comes throughout and he has some actual swag relating to clothes–but when that cage is locked his mentality switches to eat or be eaten and it’s extremely inspiring. Though my allegiance lies with
the Ecuadorian knockout artist, I’ve not let that sway my emotions about Cory Sandhagen. Cory looks like an superior man as properly and has an insane onslaught of spinning sh** and peculiar angles. He can scrap. He has misplaced two of his final three, however to the likes of Petr Yan and TJ Dillashaw, each who’ve grow to be mainstays within the 135 division. That is undoubtedly a title eliminator. The final two individuals who have fought Corey Sandhagen have gotten title pictures after and this time will likely be no completely different. Bantamweight may be essentially the most entertaining division within the UFC proper now. After Suga Sean’s win over Petr Yan in Abu Dhabi, he claimed his subsequent battle could be for the title, however the UFC is allegedly making Aljo vs. Cejudo for the strap. The thought is that Suga will battle the winner of that. My guess could be that the winner of Suga’s championship bout would go on to battle the winner of Sandhagen/Vera. There are countless prospects within the bantamweight division and 2023 will likely be a yr through which the division will see lots of drama and pleasure.
Cory Sandhagen lately stated in an interview that Chito’s fashion was not one which was dependable. That’s that he has sluggish early rounds and picks it up within the later rounds searching for a end and I might be mendacity if I stated it wasn’t a legitimate level.Though I’m positive that Chito’s gameplan will change relating to the ‘Sandman.’ Sandhagen nor Chito have been completed within the UFC and I’m positive neither of them plan on the primary time being Feb. 18th. I hate that there won’t be a crowd for the battle as a result of it’s positive to be a banger. If the battle goes the space my wager could be that Sandhagen holds on. But when a end is within the playing cards, I’ve bought Chito.
