News Petr Yan vs. Cory Sandhagen Official For Interim Title @ UFC 267

[Morning Star]

Honestly just glad they were able to find a replacement. Cory lost a debated decision so I don't have an issue with this. I got Yan though.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Nice. Keeping some kind of BW title fight on this card. If Sandhagen wins this place will implode.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Wth? Where's Dillasnake?

Injured.

 

[LivenLearn4988]

It was a competitive fight.

So much so that the winner isn't able to compete.

With aljo out and TJ out... Corey is a great choice.

Understood but just make it a fight why keep throwing around these interm belts

 

[RampageFaction]

Injury, think torn MCL iirc out like 9 months I think. Don't quote me on the exact specifics.

“A bucket tear of the lateral meniscus that requires surgery will typically require approximately 6 weeks of recovery without putting any weight on the leg. Recovery from an LCL rupture is typically the same.”

Never in my life have I been so excited for a fight between two guys coming off losses.

 

[BjPenn2017]

Sandhagen is going to get fucking ragdolled, he’s too skinny and weak.

It doesn't really make a difference. It's just more incentive for the fighters as it pretty much guarantees a title shot.

 

[Leviticus]

What a joke lose your last fight oh here's a title fight

It was so close and he won on dmg tbh

 

[10000yearsold]

But he just lost to TJ. WTF?!?! Why isn't TJ fighting him?

Damn 6 weeks recovery for a ligament tear is ridiculously fast. So he's probably not far away from training again. Might even be able to fight again this year, that's crazy.

 

[Willie]

Hopefully Yan decides to not utilise his knees, that or learn about the rules

It does throwing a belt on someone who doesn't deserve it makes it seem anyone can hold that title

 

[10000yearsold]

Bullshit match. Call Cejudo and pay up.

 

[Siver!]

Cool fight. Yan should win, but Cory definite has ways of scoring the upset.

Great stuff.

That knee is swollen as fuck! Makes his win over Sandhagen even more impressive IMO. He should get a title shot or the Font/Aldo winner when he returns.

 

[Gilday]

Absolute joke that you can lose a fight then get a title fight anyway. Why not Rob Font who's on a 4 fight winning streak?

 

[Frankie Baby!]

But he just lost to TJ. WTF?!?! Why isn't TJ fighting him?

Injured

 

[humdizzle]

yan will win.

how early can fighters be stripped? it took dana like 18 months to strip conor. but i think he'd be willing to strip aljo sooner. the 1 year mark will be march.
