Sean Strickland Outstrikes Nassourdine Imavov in UFCVegas67 Main Event
Both men came out looking to strike, with Strickland throwing more kicks than usual, slapping the body and legs of Imavov with his shin. The pressure and forward movement of "Tarzan" worked well as the French fighter repeatedly got caught by punches in the first round. The second frame would see Imavov finding more success on the feet, which caused Strickland to switch up his attack by incorporating takedown attempts and clinch work.
The American would frustrate his opponent with body kicks in the third round and wind up having a lot of success at the close boxing range he imposed.The fourth round saw Strickland continue his onslaught as Imavov struggled to deal with the overall pressure of the attack. Imavov would show urgency in the fifth round but never came close to doing much damage as"Tarzan" remained the fresher fighter.
