Corey is a G. Plain and simple, he’s the ONLY guy in the bantamweight division that fights ANYONE they offer him. Everyone else in that division is playing games and picking and choosing opponents that they feel are easier money. Corey deserves a title shot simply for that reason.
@@MichaelPerez-u6t ok sure , but still best win is a decision against number 6 , and lost 4 of last 9 ... ....Umar fans act like his decision win over cory was the most amazing performance ever.....there has been more damage in pillow fights
Umar didnt do much damage in this fight , and couldn't finish the Bekzat guy (who) in his previous fight ......he is way less exciting than Merab who is not known for being exciting
"Umar Nurmagomedov moves in octagon like poetry spilled on canvas, his fists composing symphonies of precision and grace. The way he weaves takedowns into his striking is artistry unseen, leaving opponents bewildered as if caught in a storm of calculated chaos. Truly, his skillset is a riddle wrapped in martial elegance!"
The Problem with the Most Fighters is they all to Afraid being taken down, thats why they cant perform on the Stand Up like they normaly do, the Only way to Win against the Dagestanis is be a Good Wrestler and Confident enough on the Stand Up, thats why Ilia Topuria is the Perfect Fighter, his Stand Up is nearly Perfect and his Wrestling is Elite thats why he is so confident and not afraid being taken Down.
Umar Nurmagomedov is inhuman, Cory Sandman Sandhagen is an assassin, it’s insane how elite these Dagestani Fighters are, first we witness Khabib’s wrestling and judo then Islam Makhachev’s mixing it up more including boxing and jiu-jutsu then you see Usman Nurmagomedov in Bellator question mark kicking Ben Henderson that’s no joke that is striking at its best here you see Umar Jab kicking everyone and his wrestling ain’t no joke, these guys came to take over and they are taking over. There untouchable faith makes them even more difficult to defeat they are not just fighting for money they are really fighting for legacy and taking over just like how Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov planned many years ago ❤
I hate that Corey didn’t threaten with his wrestling like he’s been doing the last few fights and I know he looks back at this fight and feels the same way.
I think for the two training camps Cory had for Umar, he focused a bit too much on wrestling that his striking rusted up in the end. Proves how well rounded theses dagestani fighters are.
Although the winner of UFC 311 is already known anyway (Of course, Islam by submission or unanimous decision), the fight will be very interesting. Весаuse Arman is №1 contender. But Islam's grappling, jiu-jitsu, wrestling level and takedown defense is extremely high. That's why Arman can't finish him. Не couldn't finish Charles Oliveira, Matt Frevola, Damir Ismagulov, Olivier Aubin Mercier and Маteusz Gamrot. Arman's talk about Кnocking Islam out is funny and absurd
Its crazy how obvious it is that somebody else or a different group of people has been in charge of the UFC YT channel the last few months lmao. KEEP COOKING WHOEVER YOU ARE!!
Please be unbiased and let me know: How will Merab with pillow hands, no reach advantage and 27% Takedown accuracy is gonna beat Umar who's a better wrestler and striker?
I think Umar wins but not so sure. He won't be able to strike much (like O'Malley) and if their wrestling cancels out Merab could try wear him down fast with his cardio.
Umar before fighting for the belt: 6 fights in the ufc, best opponent: #2 cory sandhagen Topuria before fighting for the belt: 6 fights in the ufc, best opponent: #5 josh emmett Pereira before fighting for the belt: 3 fights in the ufc, best opponent: #4 strickland
Do you get the idea that situation in every division is different and the quality of opponents is also different? :) Topuria' s opponents before the title fight - Emmet, Mitchell, Herbert, Hall, Jackson, Zalal. Umar's opponents before the title fight - Sergey Morozov, Raoni Barcelos, Almakhan, Kelleher. Other than Cory none of them are even in top15. 3 of them no longer fight in the UFC. Pereira was Glory champion and had defeated Adesanya, who was a champ that time. clown.
@lll-qr4yu both umar and topuria were ranked before fighting the #2 et #5, pereira was unranked, jumped the rankings to fight the #4, title shot after 3 fights against strikers, but dont worry youre not biased at all
@@skeletonz7924 oh right, 50-45 and 10-7 are not enough, a finish changes anything, but how do you explain that he fought the #4 ranked guy with only 2 fights in the ufc while being unranked?
Sandhagen straight up deformed his own fighting style to prepare for Umar, and it showed in his fight against Font. Even then that wasn't enough against Umar. Merab shaking in his boots for good reason.
The way this fight was described in the MMA media was like Umar dominated. He won but not by a lot and def didn't dominate except a bit in the last round when Cory had to throw hail Mary's.
Umar beat cory on the feet. That in itself is super impressive. Cause it shows he has multiple ways to win. If the wrestling cancels out with merab Umar is levels above in striking.
@MADARA200 yeah and also merab is no where close on the feet where Cory is. And the same applies for umar. Umar won't be worried about the take down like omally and others were.
Because of the takedown threat. Being on the bag foot gets very difficult when fighting a cage grappler, the judo and clinching is dangerous close and you have to be able to sprawl and strike. Them level changing opens up so many shots
@@yeahbuddy300lbs wrong as usual. You think you know better about cory than cory himself ? ..... spoiler alerts be ready with your excuses on january 19

People underestimate cory too much, he will be the hardest fight for umar after this he will ragdowl everyone remember this, cory is a true martial artist he will be champ one day for sure
5th Round gave Umar the victory. Rounds 2-4 was so damn close tho. Those scorecards made so sense. The fight was WAYYYYYYYYYY closer. Why the hell Islam getting shown lol
People make it sound like Cory got dominated in this fight. I disagree. Seemed extremely close up until the last two rounds but Cory still pushed the pace.
Сurrentlу, There is not ММА fighter in the world who can defeat graррling, kickbохing and wrestling master Islam. Undoubtedlу, Islam Маkhachev can defeat Belal Muhammad, Topuria, Kamaru Usman, Khamzat Chimaev, Justin Gaethje, Leon Edwards and Shavkat Rakhmonov. He will be UFC welterweight or middleweight champion. The 1st highest strike aссuracy, 4th highest takedown accuracy and 2nd highest takedown defense belongs Islam in the UFC lightweight history. Веfore the fight Tsarukyan-Oliveira, Arman said that he will knock him out. But it didn't happen as Не said. Islam will submit Arman. Ву the wау, Tom Aspinall will finish Jon Jones. Mark my words

Good fight. I was surprised by Corey's ability to get back up. Bodes well for his future
Umar is insanely skilled, elite striking, grappling, and fight IQ.
Future champ for sure

Umar is a breath of fresh air to the bantamweight division, hoping for him to win this title 🏆
Literally the same style as merab what difference does it make
@ same style?
Umar‘s kicking game is one of the best in the ufc, Merab is nowhere near similar to Umar in the striking
@Reflectionedreaction this gotta be rage bait
Umar didnt do much damage in this fight , and couldn't finish the Bekzat guy (who) in his previous fight ......he is way less exciting than Merab who is not known for being exciting
Umar has bland personality and would probably fight once a win if he becomes champ. Merab is way more exciting.
UFC channel guy knows how to promote events man.

Highest level UFC fight in recent times.
Topuria - Holloway is far better than this
pillow fight
Sandhagen is not that high level. Merab has 5 opponents more impressive than Sandhagen 🤣

No Cory just didn’t strike like he normally does
reminder that aljo only needed 1min to finish sandhagen. lol
Why the heart though? Lol wtf
Bro trying to gas it up
Umar is so nimble one of the fastest fighters in the sport
Умар - молодец! Убедительно победил сильного противника.
Umar by far the best kicker in the division, and his base isnt even striking. Merab is a tricky puzzle though, cannot wait for this one.
When they showed Islam I scrolled down to the comments immediately 😆
Everyone chooses to ignores Umar's striking because of his last name and they learn the hard way.
One of the nicest fights, this one. Corey is also very good. Technically woow
ufc been dropping bangers recently
Merab and Umar, I think, is a perfect match-up.
I’ll meet fogive merab for making me cheer for a Nurmagomedov
I hate that Corey didn’t threaten with his wrestling like he’s been doing the last few fights and I know he looks back at this fight and feels the same way.

Umar is a beast!!! Cory rly is an awesome figher!
Let me save you guys some time, Umar will be a champion , Islam will keep his belt 🫡☝🏻
I know Cory lost but his defensive grappling in this fight was incredible.
Abdulmanар Nurmagomedov: "We will be champion always. Тhe belt will always be ours. We will win"
bro couldn't tell them apart lol
5th round loved that kamasutra
Everybody complaining that Umar doesnt deserve the shot, who can beat this guy?
Not the most boring fight I've seen in a while 😂😅
