SAN ANTONIO – Cory Sandhagen doesn’t talk trash. He isn’t the most active on social media, and callouts aren’t his style.
For Sandhagen (15-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC), that’s not what’s important – even if perhaps it gives others the promotability advantage over him. Sandhagen wants to be known for his fighting style, both offensive and defensive.
“I don’t really dig a lot of the attention maybe like other people do, which is fine,” Sandhagen told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “I express myself a lot in the cage. I like expressing that piece of me. I like looking back and watching the Yan fight and the Song fight before the fifth round and knowing that’s in my heart. That’s one of the most fun things for me in this sport, just being able to express that piece of me because I don’t really do it in everyday life.”
