lol at no one making a thread about this just found it by coincedence. so who wins and how?

I have my money on sandhagen but will be a fun fight.

 
but why? edgar is irrelevant

Sandhagen can't get someone ahead of him in the ranking.
Waiting for the TS is dangerous with Sterling, Dillashaw, Cejudo, Volk and Garbrandt hoping for that same shot, he could be stuck in a Leon Edwards situation. Might as well get someone with namevalue, not too risky and who won't pullout.

Rob Font = Dangerous, no name value
Jose Aldo = Name Value but more dangerous than Edgar
Pedro Munhoz = no name value at all
Gabrandt = Name value but not available and dangerous

Other are booked

Edgar has name value, won't pullout and is not much of a threat IMO
 
frankie has a clear ptv but, at this stage, the odds are not in his favor.
 
They’re trying to give Sandhagen a better reason to fight for the title than Sterling.
 
Frankie can actually win this if his top control is still there. Sandhagen has non-existent TDD, it's all a matter if Frankie can get the positions on the ground.

Edgar is ranked higher than all of those guys besides Garbrandt. Font wasn't even top 10 (will be after the Moraes fight) Aldo hadn't won a single fight at 135 until this weekend and is ranked 2 spots below Edgar. Then we have Munhoz who lost to Edgar.
 
Sandhagen isn't elite? He's ranked #2

And Moraes and Cody Garbrandt are ranked 3 and 4 respectively LOL. BW is a shallow division, outside of Yan there’s no elite talent.

Lol miss me with that UFC ranking system. If you think a pillow fisted volume striker with no ground game like Sandhagen is “Elite” then you need your eyes checked.

I think he's better than paper champ Petr Yan who got the belt by beating 40 year old Faber and the ghost of Aldo.

Frankie has a top 5 win at BW, so the fight makes sense for Sandhagen IMO. Nobody else really there. Don't see Frankie posing much of threat to Sandhagen either. He's 39, his power is gone, and sandhagen is the better wrestler. But beating Moraes and Frankie in a row puts him in good position.

Volk hoping for the same shot? at BW?
