UFC bantamweight title contender Sean O’Malley has commented on the Cory Sandhagen vs. Umar Nurmagomedov fight, which is expected to be announced soon.
“Who manages Corey? What does he even do?”, – said the American in the next issue of his podcast. Why Umar? He’s not on the list, is he? Well, or he is the fifteenth. Why doesn’t Corey wait for Merab? Merab has an order of magnitude bigger name and he is the first in the ranking. Corey can get this fight, fight Merab. They are both very serious contenders.”
“Some people don’t do business very smart. They are told something and they reply, ‘Yes, master’. Though Corey should have said, ‘Fuck it’. If you have the opportunity to fight Merab and you both want that fight, why would you want to fight Umar? I think it’s very bad management.”
Last week, the fight between Sandhagen and Nurmagomedov was reported by informed sources close to the situation, and then the news was confirmed by a friend and teammate of the Russian, Islam Makhachev. According to available information, the fight will be a five-round fight and will headline one of the UFC events.
Currently, Corey Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov are ranked fourth and eleventh in the UFC bantamweight division, respectively.
