UFC Vegas 18 can be said to be an event that makes long -standing fans sad when the famous generals, the boxers have been attached to the tournament for a long time like Frankie Edgar, Alistair Overeem to receive losses before younger names. Cory Sandhagen defeated Frankie Edgar with a beautiful flying pillow on the 26th second of the first half, and Alexander Volkov pierced Alistair Overeem's defense to see the old general on the floor after 2:06 in the second half.
“I want to prove to everyone how I improved my Wrestling ability in this match, but I guess I didn't need it,” Cory Sandhagen said after a fleeting pillow too class.
“Compared to the time when I lost to Aljamain Sterling, I became a different person. Sterling forced me to study a lot. I know the champion Petr Yan is trying to fight TJ Dillashaw if he defeated Aljamain in the next match. Bantamweight will be defeated by me. “
For his part, Alexander Volkov also said he was anxious to target the Heavyweight championship.
“I feel very wonderful, very excited,” Volkov said after the match. “I believe it's the time for me to shine. I am coming to the championship.”
It can be said that, thanks to UFC Vegas 18, the next two candidates for Bantamweight and Heavyweight's battle for the Bantamweight and Heavyweight were all revealed. Both Cory Sandhagen and Alexander Volkov have the opportunity to compete immediately if the champion in their weight class is not defeated in the upcoming belt protection matches: in Bantamweight, Petr Yan will need to overcome Aljamain Sterling; In Heavyweight, Stipe Miocic will need to overcome the rematch against Francis nunnou.
