The No. 2 ranked bantamweight fighter is on the back of an impressive win himself when he beat former title challenger Marlon Moraes. In his last fight, The Sandman knocked out the Brazilian with a spinning heel kick and edged one step closer to the title shot himself.

During the UFC Vegas 18 virtual media day, Sportskeeda had the pleasure of speaking to Cory Sandhagen himself. The top bantamweight fighter hopes that TJ Dillashaw shouldn’t be thrown with the top guys because he was suspended for the usage of “a serious drug”.

The Sandman went on to elucidate that after his last fight even he asked for TJ Dillashaw but didn’t get the fight. Hence, Cory Sandhagen has no idea what the situation is like right now, surrounding the former UFC bantamweight champion’s return.
