As if the bantamweight title conversation hasn't been confusing enough for the UFC brass, Cory Sandhagen provided a reminder to everybody on Saturday that future discussion involving the championship in one of the promotion's deepest divisions should have his name in the mix.

On an all-new episode of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K.
