The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is inside the Spectrum Center in Charolette, N.C. tonight, Jan. 27, for the promotion’s next exciting night of fights. This time around, the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion is hosting UFC on FOX 27 for fight fans.
Kicking off the night of fights, featherweights Austin Arnett and Cory Sandhagen are throwing down on the UFC Fight Pass prelims.
The fight kicked off at a brutal pace, as Sandhagen began throwing a series of different techniques. Mixing it up, the fighter began walking down Arnett and brutalizing his opponent with a variety of strikes.
Halfway through the round, Sandhagen landed a successful takedown on Arnett. However Arnett was able to make it back to his feet and to the center of the octagon.
Arnett then began bringing the pressure to Sandhagen, offering his opponent a flurry of strikes that put Sandhagen on his back foot. This was seemingly a dominant round for Sandhagen.
