BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Cory Sandhagen vs. TJ Dillashaw:

Beneil Dariush, UFC lightweight: That’s a tough one. Due to the time off, I think Sandhagen gets it.

Diego Ferreira, UFC lightweight: I’m a big fan of Dillashaw but having two years off so you never know how that will impact him. But, I still think he’s the best bantamweight and will beat Sandhagen.

Edmen Shahbazyan, UFC middleweight: Sandhagen by stoppage.

Dustin Jacoby, UFC light heavyweight: I’m a big fan of both guys but I will give the edge to Sandhagen due to his activity. I don’t know what Dillashaw will look like after two years so I like Sandhagen.

Devin Clark, UFC light heavyweight: Dillashaw. I still think he’s the best bantamweight alive.

Tristan Connelly, UFC featherweight: That’s a good fight. To me, it is a pick’em fight but I think Sandhagen. I’ve been impressed with him as of late.

Patrick Mix, UFC bantamweight: Sandhagen. I don’t think Dillashaw will be as good as he was after two years away.

Cody Stamann, UFC bantamweight: I think Sandhagen will beat him. I think he’s the scariest guy at 135 and he’s the guy that everyone should be worried about. Since the loss, he’s been a totally different fighter and I’m honestly not sure anyone in that top five can beat him.

Joe Solecki, UFC lightweight: I like Sandhagen. I think he’s tough to beat right now as he looks like a completely different fighter from when he lost to Sterling. Then Dillashaw is coming off the two-year layoff and I don’t know how he will look.
