Watch Cory Sandhagen ‘audition’ for WWE with Stone Cold stunner during UFC Abu Dhabi workouts

0

Give Cory Sandhagen a couple of cold Steve-weisers and a hell yeah after his open workout ahead of UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

The veteran bantamweight contender put on a show for the crowd in attendance, but he wasn’t flashing any of the moves he’s used to pull off some highlight reel knockouts during his career. Instead, Sandhagen decided to get the attention of the WWE by using a couple of famous finishers to entertain the audience.

A new video posted by the UFC shows Sandhagen first going for the Pedigree — the finishing maneuver made famous by current WWE chief content officer Paul Levesque, better known by his stage name “Triple H.”

From there, Sandhagen pulled off the Stone Cold stunner, which was the move that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin used so frequently to dispatch his opponents in WWE.

A consummate martial artist, Sandhagen may just have a career waiting for him in professional wrestling if he keeps pulling off moves like this.

Of course, first things first, Sandhagen has to get through Umar Nurmagomedov on Saturday as the bantamweight clash in a potential No. 1 contender’s fight with the winner possibly moving onto face the champion after Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili meet in September at UFC 306.
