"UFC fighter Sean Strickland is facing a tall task this weekend in his bout against reigning middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev and the pundits predict it will all come down to his ability to defend takedowns and ability to get back to his feet in wrestling exchanges."
"Never one to turn down a challenge, Strickland got into a friendly grappling exchange a couple winters back at Brian Head Ski Resort in Utah and he defended the single leg quite well."
"If you have been following the news, the upcoming fight between Chimaev and Strickland will be anything but friendly. Should he can fend off lower body attacks this weekend at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey as well as he did in this Utah lift line, he stands a fighting chance to overcome the 5 to 1 betting odds."
"Here's a few more shred clips from Strickland. Dude doesn't just mellow carve down blues, he is hitting the park and taking spills."
Sean Strickland faces reigning middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev in an upcoming bout. Predictions focus on whether Strickland can defend takedowns and successfully get back to his feet during wrestling exchanges. Outside fighting, Strickland enjoys snowboarding and mountain activities. He previously took part in a friendly grappling exchange at Brian Head Ski Resort in Utah and defended a single-leg attempt effectively. The fight is expected to be far from friendly, with Chimaev’s lower-body attacks posing a major challenge. If Strickland can fend off those attacks at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, he may have a chance to overcome 5-to-1 betting odds.
