2 years agoThe game plan on Saturday was not the best for Sean Strickland, who decided to try and stand and strike with the dangerous Alex Pereira. Strickland's night ended with a devastating first-round knockout after a left hook sent him reeling to the mat. In 2:36 of total action, Strickland tallied 15 significant strikes but never really made any dominant strides in the fight. Let's see how Strickland is matched up next. It looks like the UFC really likes him, so he might end up with a favorable rebound matchup where he can earn a victory.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
