Cory Sandhagen is clapping back against Marlon Vera for his fight-ducking accusations.<\/p>\n

Marlon Vera (20-7 MMA) has spoken out about the UFC offering him a fight with Cory Sandhagen (15-4 MMA) on short notice for the UFC Fight Night 214 main event which takes place on Saturday, November 5. Apparently, Sandhagen turned down the fight and Vera has taken issue with that.<\/p>\n

Marlon Vera, speaking on ‘The MMA Hour’ discussed the callouts he’s had from Cory Sandhagen (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cCory\u2019s been calling me out, and then they offer for us to fight Nov. 5, because something happened in that main event. He didn\u2019t accept the fight. So why you f**king call me out, Cory Sandhagen? Then you don\u2019t have time to make weight or get ready. Don\u2019t call another man out and then don\u2019t be able to dance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While Sandhagen doesn’t deny turning down the fight, he is assuring Vera that the fight will happen in the future (possibly February), he just wants adequate time to prepare for the match-up.<\/p>\n

Taking to ‘Instagram’, Cory Sandhagen had this response for ‘Chito’:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got Chito, who\u2019s trying to make me sound like I\u2019m the guy that\u2019s afraid to fight him. The UFC offered me that fight on three weeks\u2019 notice after it was about a month after I had fought Yadong. Chito, you called out guys in the top five and then fought down in the rankings and fought Cruz.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Cory<\/p>\n

Continuing Sandhagen doubled down on the fact that he’s not afraid to fight Vera saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I blame you for doing that? Of course,\u00a0I don\u2019t. It\u2019s the draw. But don\u2019t try to make it sound like I\u2019m afraid of you, bro. You can get me after a full camp, and I\u2019d be glad to whoop your ass sometime around February.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding ‘Sandman’ finished with:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think with the division, you gotta give O\u2019Malley the title shot. Hopefully it pays Sterling pretty good. I hope that they do me and Chito for the No. 1 contender spot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sean O\u2019Malley<\/a> (16-1 MMA) was awarded the controversial split decision win over Petr Yan (16-4 MMA) this past Saturday at UFC 280.<\/p>\n

Sandhagen voiced his opinion that O\u2019Malley should be the next opponent for bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (22-3 MMA) and the winner of his fight with Vera should get the next title shot.<\/p>\n

Would you like to see a Sandhagen vs Vera match-up? Who do you believe would win that battle?<\/p>\n
