Top bantamweight, Cory Sandhagen will return to action this weekend at UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs Dillashaw. He will take on the former two-time champion of the division and a returning T.J. Dillashaw. Sandhagen, who has been on a tear in the 135 lbs division of the UFC, sits at #2 in the rankings.
After suffering his first UFC loss against Aljamain Sterling, ‘Sandman’ has provided two back-to-back highlight-reel finishes. A wheel kick knockout against Marlon Moraes and a flying-knee finish against Frankie Edgar were both worthy of the knockout of the year award.
Now, ahead of Sandhagen’s return to action, we take a look at his tattoos.
Sandhagen, a tall and lanky fighter, refers to himself as a ‘White, Skinny guy with the back tattoo.’ Needless to say, his back tattoo is a thing of beauty as well. The tattoo that is spread all over his back suits him perfectly and makes the fighter more recognizable for the fans.
Sandhagen’s back tattoo consists of angels. This is a bit off-beat considering that other MMA fighters prefer to have gladiators or warriors on their skin as compared to angels. But maybe this is a representation of Sandhagen’s religious views as a person. This piece documents his belief.
Can Cory Sandhagen seal his place as the next title challenger?
Sandhagen has long been looking for a title shot. Until now, his performances in the bantamweight division have been nothing short of phenomenal. Unfortunately, his loss to Sterling served as a colossal blow to his title shot aspirations.
Nevertheless, ‘Sandman‘ believes he is better than ever after that result. He has developed as a martial artist since then and a win over Dillashaw will certainly put a stamp on his position as the next challenger for the bantamweight gold.
