Cory Sandhagen defeated John Lineker via Split Decision
After three rounds of back and forth action that could have gone either way, Cory Sandhagen managed draw the judges into his favour, but the crowd was definitely not happy with the decision. There’s one thing that needs to be applauded – Sandhagen’s zero hesitancy to engage with a dangerous fighter like John Lineker who is known to put his opponents to sleep. Sandhagen made good use of his height and reach advantage to keep Lineker at distance and still be able to land consistently. Lineker kept coming back with his trademark hooks and body shots that slowed Sandhagen a bit. As the rounds progresses, Lineker kept landing more hooks on Sandhagen’s torso but the lanky fighter intelligently made use of leg kicks and maintained his pace. Lineker’s highlight moment came when he wrapped a guillotine in the final round but the bell saved Sandhagen. With this win, Sandhagen stays undefeated at 4-0 in the UFC.
