Cory Sandhagen is set for a significant bout against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC Des Moines, which could lead him to a bantamweight title shot. He aims to secure his opportunity by defeating Figueiredo convincingly and mentioned how he's the only top contender yet to fight current champion Merab Dvalishvili. With an engaging matchup against Sean O'Malley potentially on the horizon, Sandhagen believes the timing of his career may be right for a title challenge, especially following a previous decision loss to Umar Nurmagomedov.
If I go out and I demolish Figueiredo, if I go beat Figueiredo by a mile or I knock him out or I submit him, I don't think it's way out of the realm of possibility that I be the next guy to fight for the belt.
Especially, just considering I'm the only one that hasn't fought Merab yet in the top five. And then also, the entire world wants to watch me and O'Malley fight.
