Cory Sandhagen: Strengths

Sandhagen is just one of those guys who is dangerous everywhere... such insane fight IQ and technique. He is more dance and style than fight lol; against Umar, he very well could've won if he had more volume, and he showed no urgency. I do worry about that. However, in the grappling, I think he's getting way better defensively; he has improved miles since the submission loss to Aljo.

Cory Sandhagen vs Deiveson Figueiredo Match Prediction 04 May 2025

I look forward to this fight because Sandhagen managed to zero out Umar's grappling in his last fight. Very few of those top contenders keep on evolving from fight to fight, but he's one of them. Figgy is no joke. I think Sandhagen is good enough defensively in wrestling and on the feet to avoid danger from Figgy. Sandhagen has a huge height and reach advantage here; he could just poke and prod at Figgy for five rounds. I'll have to go with him to win, but it could be close.

Our match prediction is a win for Sandhagen to win by decision and technical decision with odds at 1.66 on 1Xbet.

Our betting tip on the match is +5.5 Spread with Deiveson Figueiredo odds at 2.37 on Bet365.
