UFC Fight Night is finally here this weekend, and in the main event, Sean Strickland will face Anthony Hernandez.

Many people are already betting on Anthony Hernandez without conducting any fight analysis. They base their decisions on what others in the media are saying. This is partly because Sean Strickland often makes highly controversial comments, which causes some people to dislike him. However, we are here to set that aside and focus solely on their fighting skills and experience.

Anthony Hernandez is currently on an eight-fight winning streak, generating significant excitement among fans. This impressive run has led to comparisons with Merab Dvalishvili due to Hernandez’s grappling skills, durability, and relentless pressure. Many believe that Hernandez will decisively defeat Sean Strickland.

I am not sure if people are underestimating Strickland. It could also be that he is disliked because of his personality. He is a great striker with the best jab in this division and possesses strong takedown defense. Even when taken to the ground, we have seen him get up every time. This leads me to point out that he has never been submitted, which is likely because he consistently trains with elite grapplers.

My pick for this fight is Sean Strickland. I base this choice not only on his skills but also on his resume. To name a few, he has faced Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, and Dricus Du Plessis. In the case of Hernandez, his best win is Brendan Allen, who puts Hernandez in a tough spot with his jab.
