Named the likely opponent of Umar Nurmagomedov in the UFC

The next opponent of Umar Nurmagomedov, with whom the undefeated Russian will lead one of the events of the strongest league in the world, will probably be the American Corey Sandhagen, who occupies the fourth line in the UFC bantamweight division.

This was announced by the well-known sports columnist Ariel Helwani, specifying that according to his information, the fight is in development. However, a few days earlier, Umar Nurmagomedov announced that he had already received the fight, and Khabib Nurmagomedov announced that his relative would enter the octagon as a headliner.

27-year-old Umar Nurmagomedov is on a four-fight streak in the UFC, knocking out Raoni Barcelos in the last fight in the first round, and is ranked eleventh in the organization’s bantamweight division.

31-year-old Corey Sandhagen won two fights in a row, defeating Song Yadong by TKO and winning a split decision against Marlon Vera. Prior to that, the American fighter lost decisions to TJ Dillashaw and Peter Yan.
