Cory Sandhagen has watched several opponents and dates for his return to action fall by the wayside in recent months but even he couldn’t predict that a worldwide pandemic would threaten his next fight.
The top-five ranked bantamweight contender recently agreed to a matchup with Aljamain Sterling in a fight that was supposed to take place at the upcoming UFC card in San Diego on May 16. Immediately after news of the fight broke, Sterling took to Twitter to deny he had accepted anything while pointing out the current lockdown in New York that is preventing him from training to get ready for anybody.
