Sandhagen said this to ufc.com about his upcoming fight against Song, “I think he's super athletic, and I think that he's a very dangerous guy. I think that that experience is good for him, but I don't think that he's ever faced anyone — I know everyone says this every single time, but he literally hasn't faced like anyone in the top five, so I could say that definitively. It's just like, ‘I'm not letting this kid take my spot. He has plenty of years that he can, but he's not going to take my spot. He hasn't put in the time, and he hasn't put in the work that I've put in, and I'm not going to just let him walk in and take it from me. I'm a humble enough guy and smart enough guy to know that if I want to be the champ and remain the champ for a long time, I need to like fix some stuff in my game. My game is really tight. It's really solid. It's top five for sure, (but) I don't want to be top five. I don't want to go the next five, six years I have in the sport (just) in the top five. That's not what I'm interested in. That's not what I signed up for. I want to be champ. I spent the last year really hammering that down and making sure that when I come back, which is now, I can make a real run at the title.”

UFC Picks

The question you have to answer in this fight is whether you think Song is ready to move up the ladder and face stiffer competition. Song has done very little wrong in his UFC career with just one loss, but he really hasn’t faced anyone of note. Sandhagen is right in saying that this is a huge step up in competition for Song. I think the price on Sandhagen is reasonable enough at less than 2-1, so I will take Sandhagen to get the win.
