Cory Sandhagen got outstruck, despite defending most of Umar’s takedowns, Deiveson Figueiredo became the first person to knock down Chito Vera, and Shamil Gaziev is back in the win column. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Shamil was getting hyped by the Burger King ads 😊
Damn man wtf happened to Cory’s striking he could’ve beaten umar his wrestling defense was the best I’ve seen in a long time these nurms can b annoying sometimes but this nurm is very beatable im done wit Cory 4 a while smh
Low IQ’s picked Cory.
WTF is David Goggins still doing in Tony's corner.. This is ALL his FAULT!!!!!!!! Damn you GOGGINS!!!!!
Bro really picked 10-10 Denis Tiululin
Ofc it took bantamweight skill to finally neutralize Dagestani wrestling however cory was so focused on stuffing takedowns I feel he really didn’t want to let anything fly
Petr yan vs umar
WHY IS NOBODY ENTERTAINING A FIGGY VS ALDO FIGHT!? Flyweight champ versus featherweight champ in a bantamweight clash.
Sandhagen was so disappointing
If it wasn’t for the wrestling, I think Sam Haegan would’ve won though
Cant believe i flew to abu dhabi for this fight.
Forgot to mention umar also caught almost all of Cory’s kicks and took him down off a couple of them
dude you downplayed shara
You forgot; Umar has the team & discipline as fighters is unmatched 👊☝️💪
Let's stop acting like Umar has the best striking in the world, his striking is elite but the reason why these guys have success is because of the TAKEDOWN, the striking would 100% be in favor of sandhagen if he wasn't so worried about the takedown
Lil bro can't get a single main pick right 😂😂😂
Shamil looked fresh in round 3
Heel hook kicks not submissions 😅
Umar was never panicked. Not confident, yes. He never panicked. The only thing his corner told him was to believe in his striking. He got confident in the 4 remaining rounds.
Shara was off balance. Not a knockdown 🤦♂️😂
I don't think Shara's last fight proved that he doesn't have pop. I think he can't commit to his shots because he's so worried about being taken down.
Just didn't throw anything on the feet as far as punches go, he landed leg kicks and some kicks to the body but pretty much nothing else.
What has yan done to earn a number one contender fight?
Performance of the year by shamil
Sean ko’s umar
Sandhagen has always been slow🤣 yall gassed him and I never believed.
Yall thought this slow poke could take suga?
Marlon rocked Figgy? It was getting hairy for Figgy? The hell fight was he watching?
Such a disappointing performance from Cory
26:16 bro did a FNAF glitch 🤣🤣
Cory literally didn’t throw a shot with bad intent at all throughout the fight, he didn’t fight for it and i genuinely hate that about some fighters
Ik im not a fighter andd cant fully relate, but i just dont understand when fighters are down by rhe last round or two and they put no pressure or anything to win the fight, go for something anything i would rather get finished in an attempt to win then to just feint and switch stances at range and lose a shitty decision
Corys gameplan was defend takedowns and look sad
Michal arguably won the 3rd round 😂. You gotta be joking right? I think you’re letting your expectations and his hype deceive what you actually saw. I agree he’s not as good as the hype says he is and their a lot of guys that beat him but how are you saying Shara didn’t win the 3rd round. He was landing punches side kicks to the face, jumping elbows, knees in the Thai clinch,leg kicks, he was landing every technique basically. I agree he’s not that good but you’re over criticizing this performance just cause the guys name and hype. Even when he got taken down in the 3rd round he landed way more from the bottom he was landing big elbows and Michal was just holding him. Some of that fight you weren’t even watching go back and watch he kinda dominated that fight other than getting a finish. Most Michal shots he rolled with and half way blocked them other than the that overhand in the first round.
I honestly think that Umar just made Cory LOOK slow by comparison
sandhagens densitymaxxing didnt work
O’Malley or Merab gonna get smooshed by Umar
Peter Yan beat o Smelly they robbed him
Figgy should get a title shot over Umar bro
Cory just overrated af people forget man
Bro start with the first fight
M.Vera did NOT up his Strike Volume this fight, what are you talkin about?? He not only lowered it, but he was more worried about shelfing up like Anthony Smith than throwing anything back. He's not the same fighter anymore Lucas
i have no idea what you were drinking during that fight.
Marlon Vera is overrated it’s comical, his boxing is so bad man.
Chitos fight strategy is beat tf out of me and take me down at will while I make reads and wait for you to slow down
Umar = Shamil – blob
Shamil vs Rosentrikee rematch?
The Umar glaze is too high. I’ve seen even DC say he’s better at striking that Islam? What?
Also his actual shots are garbage. He folds at the waist and grabs lazy single legs. His timing on the entries, technique after the fact and physical strength make him seem better than he is.
Khabib was the best wrestler of the three. Islam is number two, then Umar. Islam is the best striker of the three and the best overall.
Figgy had the most impressive performance of the night.. Sandhagen is vastly overrated
yeah sandhagen needed to throw the sink at him at some point. it was strange watching him reach for a single in the fifth.
umar islam and usman are gonna dominate
