Cory Sandhagen had to dig deep against Iuri Alcantara . In his second octagon fight, Sandhagen faced dangerous submission artist Alcantara at UFC Fight Night 135 in August 2018. Alcantara pressured Sandhagen with combinations, clipping him with a few solid ones, before dragging him to the mat. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt immediately latched onto a triangle armbar which had Sandhagen in a world of trouble. Somehow a bloodied up Sandhagen was able to gut it out and refused to tap. He escaped and started dropping big ground and pound on Alcantara, who barely escaped Round 1.
