UFC Houston delivered a statement main event as Sean Strickland stopped Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez via third-round TKO.In this full recap, I break down how Strickland secured the finish and what this win means for the middleweight division moving forward.Also on the card:
Le Main Event de cet UFC Fight Night Houston suscitait un vif intérêt en France pour le combat entre Sean Strickland, connu pour ses controverses et sa rivalité avec Nassourdine Imavov, et Anthony Hernandez, un fighter qui avait le vent en poupe. Finalement, c'est le meilleur ennemi d'Imavov, Sean Strickland, qui l'a emporté par KO en éteignant Anthony Hernandez au 3e round sur un coup de genou au corps, son premier finish depuis 2023. Avec cette performance, Strickland peut-il griller la priorité à Imavov et faire la ceinture face à Khamzat Chimaev ? Ou peut-il affronter le Français pour une ceinture vacante libérée par Khamzat Chimaev ? Son style atypique est un véritable casse-tête que très peu ont réussi à résoudre et une revanche avec Nassourdine Imavov aurait une énorme hype en France et représenterait un défi de taille pour notre Français.Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.
