STYLE REPORT

HOW CORY SANDHAGEN FIGHTS

Sandhagen uses stance changes, long combinations and creative knees to make opponents solve several ranges at once. His movement creates offense, while strong wrestlers try to interrupt that rhythm with repeated contact.

READ THE NUMBERS

What these rates mean

SLpM is significant strikes landed per minute. SApM is significant strikes absorbed per minute. Accuracy divides significant strikes landed by attempted; defense measures the percentage of opponents’ significant strike attempts that do not land.

Source and correction standard

Professional record and UFC career statistics link directly to UFCStats. Division status comes from the official UFC rankings. A recent bout can temporarily create differences between sources, so the verification date is shown rather than presenting the data as permanently current.
