“I would love to fight either Frankie or Cruz. UFC wants me to fight this year again and me and my coaches decided that I need to not be in camp so that I can add in more tools and continue getting better without having a fight coming up.”
What's next for Cory Sandhagen?
As of now, we still don't know what's next for Cory Sadhagen and when he will be returning next to the Octagon. However, a fight against Frankie Edgar could be a rare possibility given that the former Lightweight Champion is interested in a fight against Conor McGregor, as well.
