Sean Strickland Continues To Impress With Main-Event Victory
3 years agoIt has been quite the return to action for Sean Strickland, who has gone 5-0 since his two-year layoff from 2018 to 2020. In Saturday's main event, Strickland took the split-decision win (46-49, 48-47, 46-49) over Jack Hermansson. In 25 minutes of action, Strickland landed 153 significant strikes (161 total strikes) and stuffed all eight of Hermansson's takedown tries on the night. The 30-year-old's stock is steadily climbing up the UFC's middleweight division. The seventh-ranked middleweight should face top-five talent in his next outing after defeating Hermansson, who was ranked No. 6.
