— UFC (@ufc) August 18, 2019Cory Sandhagen passed the most difficult test of his MMA career to date at UFC 241.
The Elevation Fight Team representative captured a unanimous decision triumph against Raphael Assuncao in a preliminary bantamweight bout in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday, outlanding the Brazilian veteran on the feet and holding his own in grappling exchanges with the jiu-jitsu black belt.
It’s never easy to look good against Assuncao, who has hovered on the fringes of title contention at 135 pounds for the past few years.
