JRE MMA Show #187 with Robert Whittaker · Aired Oct 22, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Cory Sandhagen suffered a severe knee injury during his recent fight.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Joe says Sandhagen blew his knee apart. Sandhagen's own post, quoted in the linked report, says he was pretty sure a kneebar tore his hamstring and that an MRI was still pending. That supports a serious leg injury and his suspected hamstring tear. It does not exclude a knee injury or establish the final diagnosis, so our first pass was too certain in calling Joe wrong.
