BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Cory Sandhagen said his first-round armbar win over Mario Bautista went pretty much the way he planned it. And because of that, he thinks it’s about time he gets a little more uncomfortable in his UFC career. Sandhagen (10-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) took out Bautista (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with about 90 seconds left in the first round at UFC on ESPN+ 1 this past Saturday. Now Sandhagen wants a step up, which might mean a fight with bantamweight standout John Lineker (31-8 MMA, 12-3 UFC), whom he was supposed to fight on the card before Lineker pulled out nine days before the fight. “Right now, I’m in no rush to call anyone out,” Sandhagen said after the fight.
