The cope in this thread is insane.
Cory's an old 33 year old BW, only got a title shot off 1 injury win because Merab's beaten everybody else and likes to be active, has lost multiple and every other title eliminator and title fight he's ever had, and has been competing for over a decade. He's been at the same level for 5 years now and never got further no matter who the top of the division was. This is his ceiling.
Stop trying to make Cory happen. He's a fun exciting active fighter and should be appreciated for that, but he's never been the best in the world and never will be.
And that's okay.
You say "lost a decision as +300 underdog" like Merab is a finisher who was expected to finish Cory.Lost a decision as +300 underdog to a GOAT candidate. Is clearly top 4 in the world.
Hey, let's make threads about how he's overrated!
And congratulations for that 1 fight win streak over Fig that would've never gotten him a title shot in any other situation.Dude he caused the injury you’re talking about.

Merab by KO was +650 and sub was +750.
Dog, Merab by decision WAS the expected outcome. Congrats on losing exactly how everybody thought he would.
And congratulations for that 1 fight win streak over Fig that would've never gotten him a title shot in any other situation.
This is the cope I'm talking about. Enjoy the little victories because Cory's never getting the big ones.
I'm sure you put lots of money down on Cory popping Fig's knee during a transition.“Cope” is pointing out when morons don’t know what they’re talking about?
Merab's beating everyone easily by decision.Way to focus on that part and leave out the more important part that Merab is beating EVERYONE pretty easily in that division these days. And that there's maybe 3-4 guys total that can beat Cory right now in that division. It's pretty weird to create a thread to say a clear top 5 guy is "overrated" when he was a sizeable underdog to Merab and Umar (the top 2 BW's) and likely beats everyone else outside maybe a rematch with Yan.

Such a huge Nostradomus you saw that coming but not Cory's other 6 losses that have prevented him from going where some of you guys think he's capable of.

I don't. He's a fun exciting active fighter.You are a very strange person. Why do hate you Sandhagen so much?

Merab easily beat Cory by decision.
I have no idea what point you thought you were making pointing out Cory only lost by decision.
I don't. He's a fun exciting active fighter.
But that's all he is and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. He's been at his current state of losing every title fight and title eliminator for 5 years now. We've all seen his ceiling numerous times now, and a 33 year old BW heavily reliant on explosiveness isn't likely to suddenly advance past his blockades.
There's nothing wrong with never being the best and that's the category Cory is in.
You are a very strange person. Why do hate you Sandhagen so much?
Who’s pretending otherwise? Sandhagen actually made a video about dimwitted basement dwelling trolls like yourself:
This thread features countless people having meltdowns for people accurately pointing out that Cory isn't the best, has repeatedly been proven to not even be 2nd best, and will never get to either at this point.
So yes, clearly there are people pretending Cory is something more than he is.
And yet everything TS said was true, and people are still mad at it.What an absolute goober you are. Nobody is "melting down" because one fighter isn't the first or second best in a division. They're wondering why TS needed to create a thread to call the 3rd or 4th or 5th best guy "overrated". And then morons like you encourage shitty threads like this by adding in even more terrible opinions.
