"At this stage of my career, I no longer want fights with my participation to last the whole distance. During my downtime, I've done some serious work to add power to my hands. I've also worked on a couple of techniques to tear people apart.
I'm usually confident before a fight, but now I'm not just confident - I know I'm capable of hurting him. It will be great to show my skills to the world," the American said on The MMA Hour show.

"From a strategic point of view, I really want to fight Umar in a five-round fight because I don't know if you watched his last fight, but he's exhausted. He worked hard though, so I give him credit for that. Being that tired was pretty normal because he worked really hard and didn't relax too much.
But this fool was really huffing and puffing and whistling during the interview, so I think there's a vulnerability here that I can capitalize on," Sandhagen said on the MightyCast podcast.
