Cory Sandhagen is ready to prove the doubters wrong against Umar Nurmagomedov . Sandhagen (16-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) meets Nurmagomedov (16-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) in a UFC Fight Night main event Aug 5. at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Nurmagomedov, cousin of former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, has shown off his elite grappling throughout his octagon tenure. Sandhagen is known for his striking, but mixed things up efficiently with his wrestling in his past win over Marlon Vera in March, where he was able to land three takedowns. Sandhagen plans on showing that he can fend off Nurmagomedov’s grappling attack
