Cory Sandhagen saw his chance to fight for the UFC bantamweight championship hit a speed-bump at last night’s UFC Vegas 32. The top ranked fighter, who was coming off a sensational KO of Frankie Edgar, ended up on the wrong side of a split decision to former champ T.J. Dillashaw.
The fight was a close and hard fought affair with both men landing clean shots on the other. Ultimately, though, two of the three judges saw the contest for the man who was returning from a USADA enforced two-year absence.
In his post-fight comments Sandhagen expressed disappointment at the result.
