Umar Nurmagomedov was scheduled to fight Cory Sandhagen at UFC Nashville a few months ago. However, he had to pull out due to an injury and Rob Font replaced him to fight ‘The Sandman’. Sandhagen won the fight in a dominant fashion, and now it seems that the fight against Nurmagomedov may be in the works again.

During the recent ‘Full Send’ podcast episode, the board in the War Room saw a potential fight card for a February 10, 2024 event. A lot of fights were on the cards. But the most striking one was Umar Nurmagomedov getting matched with Cory Sandhagen in the main event. Not only that, even Michael Page, who recently left Bellator, might also feature in a 2024 event as well.
Is Michael Page going to fight Kevin Holland?
Michael ‘Venom’ Page recently left Bellator after a decade-long spell in the promotion. Since then, there have been speculations about him joining the UFC. Page recently mentioned that he and Dana White were flirting with the idea of him coming to the Las Vegas-based promotion. It seems like that could become a reality after another stunning revelation during the recent ‘Full Send’ podcast.

It could make for an exciting fight.
The recent blunder by Dana White has generated a lot of excitement among fans. However, these fights are still not yet confirmed by the UFC. It remains to be seen how things pan out in the future, as these two fights can be guaranteed to be great outings for the fans to witness.
