Can we really call Umar "bad"? Outside of Saiyokub, who has he beaten that's actually good? He beat Barcelos but he's past his prime. Also, Umar hasn't beaten any ranked opponents but he's ranked #12, how does that work?
@@j-wei4603nobody wants to fight umar, now hes fighting a ranked opponent if he doesn't deserve it he will lose. Simple, ur upset cuz u know umar would win
@@ali-mk4of Wow you're dumb. Saying nobody wants to fight him promotional cap like with the rest of the dagestan guys. Of course none of the top guys wanted to fight Umar, he's ranked too low. Beating Umar won't even get Cory a title shot so yea Cory dumb and Umar beat unranked nobodies and a washed Barcelos to get this opportunity.
They should have fed chito to umar, and let sandhagen wait to see who wins the title fight. If aljo wins and vacates the division- make sandhagen fight merab for the vacant belt
If there was ever such a thing as a top g, Corey is it. Humble, thoughtful, a decent dude. That’s what makes a top human not the alpha flash and putting others down. He’d be a great champion.
I never thought okomoto would be the type of reporter that pushes dumb questions like “why would you put yourself in a risky fight with umar” and then proceed to follow up with “do you know where I’m coming from with this question” , Corey answered it as calm and precise as he could. But the point is, he will ask this type of question over n over again knowing how the fighter should feel or answer. Think of better questions
Nope Okomoto is 100% the guy you expect to ask dumb duh questions like these. And to make things worse, he asks them in such a painful long winded way. Every fighter sits through his interview with visible agony in their eyes it’s like the first battle they need to sit through before fight week
Brett has been and always will be extremely ignorant and a crappy interviewer. Yet somehow he works for ESPN and makes a fortune. I'll never understand it. Smdh
The approach Cory is taking towards this fight is perfect. Let’s see what his coaches can do if u put ur all into training camp he can definitely win but that’s the only way is if u out ur all into it massive respect real fighter
Love Cory but I gotta go with my teammate at AKA umar. He been dodged nonstop for a fight and I see him train just as hard in the gym as if he had a fight already. Umar will soon be the champ at 135
I feel like Cory should have gotten his rematch with Aljo before a washed Cejudo. And we all know he beat Tj. I’m excited for this fight tho Umar is one of the only Dagestan dudes I like because he actually fights rather than sitting on this opponent
I'd want Umar to win considering it will open fresh matchups at the top and he is a special talent definitely. But how in world can anyone not like Cory !!! Cory vs Yan made me so happy as a fight but was breaking my heart seeing any of those lose. Cory is a special special fighter.. we need to promote him wayyyyyy more. All the Best Sandman. 🔥 Please book Yan vs Cory 2 as The Real BMF title.
He doesn’t wanna be champ if he’s not actually the best, same reason he said he wouldn’t step past merab for a title shot, Cory is different the embodiment of a fighter unlike Sean O malley.
You play the hand you're dealt. O Malley has been offered an opportunity that anyone would be silly to turn down. Cory has had his own opportunities and lost. Also, O Malley proved in the fight with Yan that he's at the level of a champion. I'm a much bigger fan of Cory than O Malley, but you can compliment his outlook without unfairly shitting on someone else.
I love how he said there’s few ppl who’s about that life… well mr Sandhagen those dagastanis (those specific ones) are about that life. I love it. What a g.
Cool brother! Maybe I'll see ya there. I'm blessed enough to be able to attend most of the UFC events and I'll tell you it doesn't matter how many times you have been, it's still absolutely incredible experience
@@finnneilson6229you are blessed to be able to have money to go to London and watch fights. How is that hard to understand? It doesn’t mean you didn’t earn it or anything.
Working hard is a necessary condition for success at something, but it is not a sufficient condition for success at something. In other words: you can't succeed at something without working hard, but you most certainly will never succeed at something JUST by working hard. You need a lot of blessings. Simplest example: if you were blind you would never become a UFC fighter no matter how hard you worked. So be grateful for all of your blessings, Cory, and recognize your helplessness.
@@Kalernor i am simply saying that if making a lot more money were his priority he could simply talk a lot of trash and involve himself in unseemly rhetoric and follow the path of the 185 lb fighter named Sean Strickland... Who by the way is an extraordinarily good fighter but also uses really offensive rhetoric
@@xonious9031 Ah I see. I don't see what that has to do with my comment though. My comment was directed at some of what Cory said between 17:39 and 18:30.
Based on what? He's never fought a ranked opponent. Cory has already proven he's about as good as the best in the division. What's Umar done? Knocked out Barcelos and won a decision over Nate Maness as a 10/1 favourite? He's clearly got excellent skills, but he's still untested.
@@thegrinderman1090 based on what I've seen in the gym. I've worked with both of them and in my opinion Umar is the better fighter. That being said, anything can happen in a fight.
@@thegrinderman1090 I was a two time world kickboxing champion. Now I am striking coach. I spend about half my time in a particular gym which I'm not sure I should name on here and the other half I spend assisting in training camps for various fighters.
@@j-wei4603that's what people say about Islam when he's coming up. And Umar is undefeated for a reason. Amazing environment, great coaches, work ethic, talent, skills, all of it. You don't see undefeated fighters dominating their way up often. He got the talents and it's been nurtured since he was a child.
Cory since it sounds like you've never bet before...the favorite means that all the top bookies in the world think you are going to lose. It has nothing to do with fans like you said. Now after the odds are released it's different. For example Umar -215 Cory +170 is what the bookies opened at. Lets say next week Umar is -270 and Cory is +220, this means the people/fans are betting more on Umar than you
It's amazing how this fight is being framed as Cory taking the hard route when he's going up against an almost completely unproven fighter in the UFC who is barely ranked and he's ranked what? probably top 3 in the division behind the champ. What about the astronomical leap in competition Umar is taking from fighting unranked guys to Cory freaking Sandhagen? Is that not embracing the hard road as well?
It’s bias. Everyone will learn though since the Dagestani hate is real. Same thing happened to khabib and islam. “Oh who has he fought to deserve the title.” Recently it was islam. “He won’t beat charles” now it’s umar. I believe umar will win.
Well im team cory win or lose if were picking sides. Aint afraid of competition. he truly wants to be the best & the best just win, Umar or not & if hes not there hes ok with finding out.
Sandhagen evolves his skills every fight. Can’t wait to see him fight see new changes. He is def not a Frankie Edgar (same style year after year after year) it’s like dude other fighters will eventually catch on. Thoughts? Comment below
People think its just their supreme wrestling but in reality it's their Supreme wrestling perfectly combined with judo which most fighters on the roaster lack

Tj won that fight.
This is the actual bmf ladies and gentlemen
all the respect in the world to cory.he is one of the few people who take on challenges and not hide behind their ranking spot
So respectful this guy and he is one of the fighters that i like to watch, descent questions from brat
I’m a Cory fan ride or die
Skill for skill Cory is top 5 in the hope of combat sport Love listening and watching this guy!! ✊
His outlook is inspirational for sure..
sort of refreshing to hear someone talk about being motivated by something pure rather than just by money
If there was ever such a thing as a top g, Corey is it. Humble, thoughtful, a decent dude. That’s what makes a top human not the alpha flash and putting others down. He’d be a great champion.
He's the polar opposite of someone like McGregor, who is all ego and narcissism. I think Volk is very similar to Cory
Umar is going to win...sucks for Cory.
cool story bro. cory 49-46
The peoples champ. Humble man

Nice to see Brett Okamoto is still using his 144p camera. 👍

Brett is the best at asking a 9 min question 😂
He’s the typical “ don’t judge a book by its cover dude “ he can kill me in less than a minute
Soft… he would take 3 minutes to kill me
What if the book’s ears look like Cory’s?

Excited for 2 good fighters to face off...let's go 👊
My favourite fighter and he should be yours too
I want Cory as the Champ of this division.
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
Cory is a humble man and a true warrior, he's my favorite fighter along with Rodriquez Halloway and Nate Diaz and Nick Diaz Army

his face and voice always reminds of Dom Cruz just in Rudy version of him.

Cory doing your best is ultimate manifestation
Literally everything in life and every moment IS manifestation
You are some one who focuses on the actions and therefore your manifestations are happening naturally without you believing that’s what it is
Yet people who only focus on trying to manifest without doing their best or taking the serious actions needed
Will for the most part be fooling themselves or only experience a portion of their manifesting power
Because for the most part we never get what we want we get what we are
You sir have taken on the most difficult part of the equation by doing your best and believing in such everyday
Therefore you’ve manifested yourself to this place as opposed to someone else who believes in it in theory and will never experience things due to who the stayed being
Imo every moment is manifestation wether people call it that or not
You can have the want for a sandwich yet unless you’re someone who will take the actions to make it or order it
The sandwich is manifesting any time soon
That’s the micro to the macro of what someone like you is doing without realizing it
