If Cory Sandhagen needed to work on his wrestling to win a title, he showed that progression Saturday. It may not have been the tune the fans in “Music City” wanted to hear to close the night, but Sandhagen’s takedowns and top control en route to a unanimous decision gave him a safe win and kept him in the title mix. It also may not have been what his boss wanted to see. Social media reports during the headliner indicated UFC president Dana White left his cageside seat in the middle of the fight and didn’t come back. Sandhagen (17-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) largely outwrestled Rob Font (20-7 MMA, 10-6 UFC) on his way to a unanimous decision in their 140-pound contract weight bout, which was the UFC on ESPN 50 main event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
