Strickland vs. Fluffy is an interesting match-up.

Both guys that have won by out-cardio-ing their opponents. But opposites in the sense that Sean just wants to walk forward and punch, while Fluffy prefers taking it to the ground.

They say Sean has really good takedown defense and wrestling, and that he's good at getting back up. Neither guy really KOs people with striking, but maybe Fluffy can hit a bit harder than we know about?

Fluffy's on such a hot streak that I think he'll win. But if it goes the distance, I could see Sean out-pointing him, frustrating him the whole time with jabs and teeps if Fluffy can't get him down and keep him down. Like if Sean turns out to be Fluffy's kryptonite.

But there was a moment in the Dolidze fight when Fluffy was telling Dolidze to hit him harder. Maybe one of those freaks who enjoys pain like the Joker. So he might be game to brawl too.

Hopefully they don't cancel each other out in some weird way and it turns out to be boring.

Looking forward to it

I hope Fluffy wrecks Strickland. I used to be a huge fan but I’ve grown sick of his shite. Especially after that pathetic performance against DDP his last fight

It’s an interesting fight. Fluffy is a ground guy and Strickland has some of the best takedown defense in the game. Will be a chess match but I was super impressed with fluffy his last fight against Dolidze

Just heard Sean interview about his DDP fight and he said he was really injured that whole training camp, he wanted to wait and get healthy before the fight but mick manerd told him that they would be passing him up if he didn't exept the fight. So he basically said he really did no cardio for the whole camp just spared and had no gas tank.

Don't know if that's true but it would explain his lack of pushing his self that whole fight. Also said Dolidze had a bad back before he fought Hernandez and was getting rag dolled his whole camp because his back was jacked up . Basically said that Hernandez win wasn't that impressive to him.

Fuuuck. I've been slammed on a shoulder before. She's going to have a painful few weeks--especially if that collarbone is broken.

That's interesting. Fluffy's win over Brendan Allen is a good win. Decision, though. Before that, he stole Michel Pereira's confidence and mauled him. But in such a dominant way that it was like a fraud check on Michel.

This will be a good test for Fluffy. If he can't get Sean down and keep him down, maybe Strickland jabs and teeps his way to a victory over Fluffy.

Imagine the scoring goes to Reese

Pereira absolutely won that fight though. Reese is fricked up
