Cory Sandhagen Started off with Basketball

‘The Sandman’ as he is fondly called, was born in Aurora, Colorado on April 20, 1992. He attended a school at his birthplace known as Smoky Hill High School. After graduating from high school, he went on to the University of Colorado where he studied psychology.

While in school, the fighter was part of the basketball team and played the sport for quite a while, since his youthful days.

Along the line, Cory discovered he had a bigger fascination for combat sports. This new interest prompted him to get into kickboxing and he won a lot of World Kickboxing Association titles.

His interest in MMA and his eventual transition to it came after he won the WKA World title in kickboxing.

Asides from the aforementioned, Cory is also skilled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which he learned under the tutelage of Eliot Marshall. He even has a brown belt in the martial art.

The 5 ft 11in bantamweight fighter has a reach of 70 and is obviously fluent in using the kickboxing style. He is part of the Elevation Fight Team where he started the year he made his LFA debut.

When he transitioned from kickboxing to MMA, Cory Sandhagen started off at the Legacy Fighting Alliance. His debut fight was on February 24, 2017, although he became a professional fighter in 2015. He lost his first fight that day against Jamall Emmers.

By January 27, 2018, Cory had once again shifted from LFA to the UFC. His promotional debut match was against Austin Arnett and he won the fight.

Over the years, he kept fighting and moving up in ranks, and as of July 2023, he had amazed more wins than losses.

In addition to a great UFC stint, The Sandman also reached the 4th position in the UFC bantamweight rankings. However, he is not satisfied with just being in the top 5.

Cory eyes the championship and has laid down a target for getting there. His aim is for a championship title after defeating Rob Font. Subsequently, he eyes a fight against Aljamain Sterling as revenge, then aims for the belt.
