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.

Fans were quick to take snaps of the War Room matchup board. It can be seen that the UFC is planning for Kevin Holland to return to UFC 297. ‘Trailblazer’ has been one of the most active fighters on the roster and may end up fighting Michael Page in the first pay-per-view of 2024.
