To heat up the duel in front of Marlon Vera, which will be held next Saturday (25), remember the North American's spectacular knockout over the former UFC champion Frankie Edgar, which took place in February 2021.

In the co-main fight of UFC Las Vegas 18, held in February 2021, Sandhagen staged one of the biggest knockouts in the history of the sport and the organization. The then prospect needed just under a minute to land an incredible flying knee and immediately knock the veteran out in a plastic scene worthy of a movie.

Division number five led by aljamain sterling, Sandhagen recovered from two straight defeats to TJ Dillashaw e Petr yan, by beating the Chinese song yadong, in September 2022. Former challenger for the interim belt, the North American has an MMA record of 15 triumphs and four setbacks.
