After a great night of fights in Nashville, Cory Sandhagen both dominated Rob Font and laid an egg. While he won every round of the fight, his wrestling-first approach left a lot to be desired for the fans. To be fair to Sandhagen, Font did come in on short notice, replacing Umar Nurmagomedov who is a wrestler in his own right. The short notice nature and the stylistic change of the fight really left Sandhagen with no other option but to be safe in his fighting. Today, we are going to go over the fight and find some of what Sandhagen did well in the fight with the newest issue of Aftermath.
