Aljamain Sterling gives his take on the upcoming Cory Sandhagen vs Marlon Vera fight
The main event, featuring Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen, has generated considerable buzz and is expected to be a fiercely competitive fight. The UFC Fight Night is scheduled for March 25th at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Adding to the buzz surrounding the upcoming event, current Bantamweight king Aljamain Sterling recently previewed the fight on his YouTube channel. Sterling shared his thoughts on the matchup and also made his prediction on who he thinks will come out on top in the fight:
"Chito [Vera] is a very tough dude, he's a savage, he goes for the kill, he's tough, he's durable... he can block and defend well when people are pouring it on him and come out relatively unscathed, and then he'll come back with big shots that could put you away. Sandhagen [is] more of a technician, smooth on the feet... we know his grappling is not the greatest, but he's been implementing wrestling in his game." [1:53 mark]
Further, predicting the winner of the fight, 'Funk Master' added:
"If I'm looking at it as better, I'm betting on Cory Sandhagen, I'm not betting on Chito [Vera] to win. But I do know if I'm gonna hedge my bet, I'm gonna hedge my bet with maybe Chito [Vera] winning by Knockout or not knockout, by TKO."[6:15 mark]
