BRENDAN ALLEN VS SEAN STRICKLAND LOWDOWN
The COVID-19 hammer struck again forcing Ian Heinisch out of his fight with Brendan Allen (15-3) last week. Thankfully, Allen still gets a fight and another opportunity to prove he is becoming a serious threat in the division. The former Legacy Fighting Alliance middleweight champion is on a seven-fight win streak including three impressive hard-fought UFC wins. He submitted Kevin Holland, knocked out Tom Breese and is coming off a recent unanimous decision over Kyle Daukaus.
Sean Strickland (21-3) is the man stepping up fresh after his win over Jack Marshman only two weeks ago at UFC Vegas 12. It was his first fight in two years after suffering that devastating motorcycle crash which required knee surgery. It must have been a satisfying return earning a unanimous decision but mainly just to be back in the octagon slugging it out.
BRENDAN ALLEN VS SEAN STRICKLAND PREDICTION
This is a catchweight bout at 195 lbs as it is a short notice fight and they match-up very similarly physically. Strickland looked great up at middleweight and outstruck Marshman who is an excellent boxer by 106 to 48 strikes. He walked him down and overwhelmed him with his output and that is exactly what he will try and do to Allen.
They match up very similarly physically and Allen is also a dangerous striker but there is a very low chance he is going to stand and trade in front of Strickland for very long. Strickland is a decent wrestler with good jiu-jitsu but Allen is just a level above and if he can get Strickland down he will work tirelessly to inflict the first submission loss of Strickland’s career.
Prediction: Allen via Submission
