The No. 2 ranked bantamweight fighter is in contention of fighting for the title sooner rather than later. Whoever walks out with the win between Yan and Sterling, could go on to welcome Cory Sandhagen, if he beats Frankie Edgar this weekend.
During the UFC Vegas 18 virtual media day, Sportskeeda caught up with Cory Sandhagen. The Sandman believes that Sterling is someone who has an unorthodox style and has a really great grappling game, as well. Whereas, Yan is the exact opposite and his striking is pretty orthodox.
Sandhagen added that regardless of who he picks, the title fight is an interesting match-up. And he himself will be looking at the bout closely.
Cory Sandhagen could earn the next shot at the UFC bantamweight title
Cory Sandhagen is arguably in a prime position to get the next shot at the UFC bantamweight championship. The Sandman will be fighting the veteran and former UFC lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar, this weekend in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 18.
The winner of the bout is expected to get that title shot and could either face Petr Yan or Aljamain Sterling next for the UFC bantamweight title.
