Cory Sandhagen
- Odd: -195
- Record: 14-4-0
- Age: 30
- Height: 1.80 m
- Weight: 61 kg
- Reach: 1.78 cm
Born in Aurora, Colorado, Cory Sandhagen will be looking to get back on the winning track after back-to-back losses to Petr Yan and TJ Dillashaw, both former champions. Just prior to those fights, Sandhagen had defeated another former champion, Frankie Edgar.
In the loss to Yan in October 2021 in Abu Dhabi, he missed out on a shot at the interim bantamweight title. A psychology graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder, he has been competing in the UFC for four years, although last season he had a negative balance. Nine of the 14 victories were before the limit.
Song Yadong
- Odd: +165
- Record: 16-1-1, 1NC
- Age: 24
- Height: 1.73 m
- Weight: 61 kg
- Reach: 1.70 cm
Ranked No. 10 in the UFC Fighting Cocks rankings, Song Yadong, born in Heilongjiang, China, was raised by a single mother who sent him to practice martial arts when he was 9 years old. Before the age of 16, he had already made his professional debut.
Throughout his young career, he specialized first in sanda – a martial art originating in China – and then in muay thai and grappling.
Yadong is on the rise since after a loss at the beginning of 2021 (against Kyler Phillips, by decision, which took away his undefeated record), he chained a series of three wins, the last of them in March against Marlon Moraes, by KO in the first round, which also earned him a mention to the Performance of the Night.
JefeBet Prediction
Although he is very young, Song Yadong has a very good experience as a professional fighter and his better present puts him ahead in the chances against Cory Sandhagen who in the last important matches could not win.
That’s why at JefeBet we believe it’s time for the Chinese fighter to take another step in his rise in the rankings for a chance to go for a world crown. And to do so, he will have to win this fight in which we choose him as a favorite.
Prediction: Song Yadong wins by KO.
