Sean Strickland‘s head coach Eric Nicksick has spoken positively of his student’s wrestling prowess ahead of his next fight.
In the main event of UFC Houston, Sean Strickland will collide with Anthony Hernandez in a fight that has the potential to be an outstanding showcase of middleweight talent. Strickland is looking to prove that he can still be a legitimate title threat, whereas Hernandez is one of the fastest rising stars at 185 pounds, and he wants to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he deserves a crack at the belt.
While we’re used to seeing Sean Strickland in the standing game, it’s well known that he does have the ability to wrestle – but he often chooses not to do so, often relying on his striking to get him through difficult challenges.
