Petr Yan (Russia) vs Cory Sandhagen (USA)
UFC Fight Island (Abu Dhabi)
On October 30, UFC Fight Island in the UAE will host the UFC 267 tournament, which will feature many Russian fighters. Here is a prediction for the co-main event of the night, the fight between Petr Yan and Cory Sandhagen.
Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Peter Jan is unlikely to be forgotten after his awesome knee bump and all the subsequent catastrophe with the simulation, pain, and belt of Aljamain Sterling. Even all of his previous championships were overshadowed by the noise of accusing Yan and making excuses for Sterling.
But Yan will be joined in the octagon by someone else entirely. It's Corey Sandhagen. Everyone is pointing the finger immediately at his loss to Sterling, but I wouldn't focus on that at all. After all, the rule doesn't work in MMA: A won B, B lost to C, so A will beat C without any problems. It doesn't work anywhere, in general.
Sandhagen resembles a cobra at times, swaying from side to side, getting ready to throw. Very clear awareness of distance, great speed, and the ability to read his opponent. Corey is a speedy fighter, which is not easy to keep up with. His biggest surprise was fighting Moraes. Marlon lost a lot because of that defeat, which no one could have predicted.
It was as if Marlon was in control of the fight and looked confident, but one miscalculation cost him the fight.
But Moraes' main miscalculation was that he didn't impose his flow on the fight, and that's where they have a big difference with Petr Yan.
Yan is never afraid to miss, he goes forward calmly, and he can crush his opponent very well, both mentally and physically. While not having great physical attributes, Peter hits very hard. In case you forgot, you can review the fights with the defeated.

Expert Betting Tips
Petr Yan will build momentum from round to round against Corey. Motivated, angry, angry for a long time, the Siberian will be on the rampage in this fight. He's going to punch, pin, clinch, bind, and maybe even set up a take-down.
Cory Sandhagen is going to have a tough time, even running from Petr for a very long time, so I'm guessing it's a knockout win in the final rounds. Somewhere in the distance. Petr Yan will regain his champion status. Even if temporary.
