You get 5 mins to end a fight. At most you get 5 banks of 5 min opportunities. Sometimes injuries happen & you have to go into damage limitation mode & still try to win the fight, via the safety net, the social security if you like, points system.
Theres no doubt Sandhagen got injured, just like there is no doubt he spectacularly finished top 5 fighters like Edgar, Moraes, Yadong & he didnt wimp out against former Champs Yan & Dillashaw. Theres no easy fights in the UFC, theres DEFINITELY no easy fights inside the top 10 in the UFC where everyone you fight is either a contender, a former champ or someone who is about to take a major scalp n become a contender.
Therefore what he did vs Font, same as McGregor did vs Holloway, is that he adjusted his tactics, overcame his injury & won ugly.
Its a part of what makes MMA so great, theres 1,000 ways to end the fight in 5 mins & perhaps from a martial arts perspective whats even more admirable is that there are 1,000 ways to survive, to stay alive, until help arrives.
Sandhagen is one of the very best out there.
