It was a vintage performance for Sandhagen – tarnished only by one judge’s insane scorecard.

Would it really have been a UFC event without at least one questionable judge’s decision?

Cory Sandhagen looked every bit of a bantamweight title challenger – mixing up his striking with his grappling to outclass Chito Vera from start to finish. But that didn’t stop judge Joel Ojeda from scoring the fight 48-47 for Vera, leaving everyone scratching their heads.
