Hailing from Aurora, Colorado, American bantamweight Cory Sandhagen trains at High Altitude Martial Arts. "The Sandman" began his combat sports journey with taekwondo before moving to kickboxing, where he captured various titles. Utilizing a switch stance, the competitor is recognized for his versatile striking and grappling. Over his career, he has earned key victories over Marlon Moraes and Frankie Edgar.
Entering UFC 329 on October 21, 2023, Sandhagen carries a 5-3-0 record. Although he dropped back-to-back decisions to T.J. Dillashaw and Petr Yan in late 2021, he has since built a three-fight winning streak. This run began with a doctor-stoppage TKO against Song Yadong in September 2022, followed by a split decision over Marlon Vera in March 2023, and a unanimous decision victory against Rob Font in August 2023.
