UFC Vera vs Sandhagen Prediction
Two top UFC fighters to watch in this Fight Night main event are Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen. It is interesting to note how similarly both men fight. Recently, Vera has been doing better than Sandhagen. He has defeated Frankie Edgar, Rob Font, and Davey Grant, among others. He is still the only combatant to have beaten the onslaught of Sean O’Malley. In all these contests, Vera got never finished. It is simple to picture this fight lasting long, considering their ability to exert sustained control is improbable. The selection process will get based on who can inflict the most harm. Because they can both defeat their opponents standing up or on the ground, they are both extremely deadly.
In late 2022, Sandhagen triumphed against Song Yadong. It happened after his back-to-back defeat. Those two defeats have essentially eliminated him from championship contention. Nonetheless, he has the best victories against Marlon Moraes and Edgar. Comparing the two fighters, neither guy has a distinct advantage over the other in any one area since they have never displayed any apparent flaws. Although not nearly as powerful as “Chito,” Sandhagen still delivers a punch. It was evident against Cruz and Font bout. The Sandman may be able to take the Ecuadorian’s punishment, but he will not counter with as many powerful blows. This battle will impact the bantamweight rankings significantly, and Vera vs Sandhagen UFC Fight Night should be thrilling, if not less.
