Many believe this fight had title implications and with the win, he’ll be, according to many, the next in line. Israel Adesanya is the current UFC middleweight champion and will defend his title at UFC 271. A fight between Strickland and the champion, whether it is Whittaker or Adesanya, will be interesting.
The main event at UFC Fight Night 200 had the MMA community buzzing. It was a fight between two completely different personalities and fighting styles. However, that wasn’t the case, as it became a standup battle. ‘The Joker‘ had his earlier takedown attempts stuffed, and that worked out for ‘Tarzan‘ perfectly.
The world reacts to Sean Strickland vs. Jack Hermansson
Fight fans around the world were excited for Hermansson vs Strickland, but most of them were disappointed at the end. Both men were conservative and the fight, according to many, was boring.
UFC lightweight Michael Chandler was unhappy and said, “Way too conservative for my liking… I need SS to go full Chainsaw Massacre the last minute at least.”

Bloody Elbow doesn’t think this fight is worth a revisit.
That fight was a blur to me. 49-46 Strickland and we do not need to watch this one back. #UFCVegas47

According to Damon Martin, Strickland didn’t show his killer instinct until the very end of the fight.
Sean Strickland definitely got the win but that killer instinct didn't really show up until the final 10 seconds when he started shouting at Hermansson.#UFCVegas47
