Sean Strickland News
Strickland was on a 6-fight winning streak, and “bloody” earned the opportunity to fight for the title. But he decided to accept the match against Perreira, who at the time was an unranked UFC fighter. The UFC paired him with Strickland because he is the TOP10 fighter who most stylistically matches Perreira, who was projected from the start to fight Adesanya as soon as possible. Strickland headlined UFC Vegas 66, and he headlines UFC Vegas 67. Rarely in UFC history has one fighter headlined two consecutive events. But that’s just Strickland’s style.
In the match against Perreira, Strickland showed his shortcomings, primarily in the technical-tactical sense. Against Perreira, he had to take the fight to the ground floor and force a clinch, but he started an open exchange against the best puncher in the middleweight division and was badly knocked out.
This is a fighter who is very tough and forces an open fight, and it is very difficult to knock him down. Against Cannonier, he was very passive and accepted the game of Jared, and was defeated by the referee’s decision. He was very disappointed with that defeat, so he immediately asked for the next fight. He entered as a replacement for Kevin Gastelum, who canceled the match against Imav due to injury. In this match, Strickland will have to be much more active, because Imavov lives off the pace and volume of strikes.
Nassourdine Imavov News
A fighter who is on the rise, and has a streak of three victories. A very young and promising fighter, who has a great wrestling base, like all fighters from Dagestan. However, Imavov has not been in Dagestan for a long time, but lives and trains in France, with Fernando Lopez, who trained and created Francis Ngannou and Cyril Gane.
He is a fighter with great physical strength for his category. His last defeat was against Phil Hawes by decision, and it can be said that this defeat is quite debatable. In the last match at home in Paris, he defeated Buckley by a unanimous decision. While before that he knocked out Shabazyan and Heinisch.
Strickland should especially pay attention to Imavov elbows and knees, which are very accurate and deadly. He knocked out a large number of his opponents with them.

Sean Strickland vs Nassourdine Imavov Prediction
In this match, we expect both fighters to be very careful, because defeat and too much opening and aggression can cause a counter effect, that is, one punch can decide the match. That is why we expect this match to enter the championship rounds.
