Sean Strickland returns with a bang and calls out Chimaev after TKO in Houston

Sean Strickland gave Anthony Hernandez no chance in the main event of UFC Fight Night 267 in Houston and, despite entering as the underdog, secured a dominant victory by technical knockout in the third round.

The American withstood his opponent’s early pressure, moved excellently on the back foot, and relied on precise counterstrikes and his strong jab to gradually break Hernandez’s rhythm and prevent him from imposing his wrestling. The निर्णсив moment came in the third round, when Strickland met an attack with a powerful knee to the body, rocked his opponent, and immediately finished him with a barrage of punches against the fence, forcing the referee to stop the fight at 2:33.

After the win, the former champion asked for another title shot and set his sights on Khamzat Chimaev. The victory put him back on track following his loss to Dricus du Plessis and snapped Hernandez’s eight-fight winning streak.
