Agreed. I don’t think there’s enough of a skill gap anywhere besides wrestling (which is important) to make this fight a clear result.
I think I’d bet on Sandhagen due to psychology: he’s on his way up and hungry and TJ is, whether it’s external or not, worried about his past and whether he can hang with the big dogs without that help.
How do you know he’s good without them? Was Lombard good without them? How about Hendricks? It’s insane people think PEDs can’t make a bang average fighter a killer
There’s little to no crowd for this fight, right? I think Dana mentioned that 100+ fans will be there. I think that will also play in Cory’s favor.
If TJ rushes Cory with a wal 'in ball or wang 'n bang flurry, he can’t feed off the crowd. I think the limited crowd and noise situation will play in the favor of Cory’s psychology.
This is such an interesting fight due to the overall story line, rankings, etc. Very little shit talk too.
