Cory Sandhagen takes on a former friend in TJ Dillashaw in arguably his biggest test to date in the UFC. ‘Sandman’ will headline UFC Vegas 32 alongside the former champion Dillashaw in an epic bantamweight fight. Heading into the fight, there has been some amount of back and forth between the two men who used to be friends and training partners.
What was once a cordial relationship between the two fighters, soured following Sandhagen’s call out. After his win over Edgar, ‘Sandman’ called out ‘cheater’ TJ Dillashaw he also went on to add, that Dillashaw was “coming off some of the most serious PEDs that you can do in the sport”
Although what Sandhagen said was not false, it rubbed the former champion the wrong way who plans to handle business this Saturday and the fight for the belt once again. Recent reports also suggest that Dillashaw had spies sent to Sandhagen’s camp to film a sparring session. Which will surely worsen the relationship between the two men further.
