Sean Strickland

Up next on the UFC Vegas 14 main card we have a catchweight (195lb) match-up. Brendan Allen is looking to stretch his winning streak to eight when he faces off against Sean Strickland who is fresh off a victory on the undercard of Uriah Hall vs. Anderson Silva.

Round 1: Both men exchange jabs at the start of round one. Brendan Allen follows up with a nice low leg kick. Allen even tries to go upstairs with one. Sean Strickland catches a kick and takes out the legs of his opponent. Strickland jumps into the guard. He postures up and tries to land shots but Allen uses the space to stand up. Strickland has his man pressed against the fence – the pair jockey for position before disengaging. Strickland is looking really good on the feet here. Allen is pushing forward to try and gain some momentum. Allen lands a huge left hook – Strickland eats it well before going back to his own work. It’s really high volume from Strickland who is punishing his opponent every time he steps into range. Both men exchange huge shot. The horn sounds to end a super fun first round.

Round 2: Another really fast start. Allen is rushing forward. It seems to work for a moment before Strickland steps back and begins to pick his shots again. Allen is just eating so many shots right now. Strickland puts a combo together than rocks Allen. He’s tumbling to the floor and Strickland follows up with more to put his man away!

OFFICIAL RESULT: Sean Strickland def. Brendan Allen via TKO in round two

Despite the event having a solid main card and a light heavyweight title bout in the main event, people were not invested in watching the prelims for UFC 210. The viewership numbers for the event are in. The prelims, which were headlined by Kamaru Usman vs. Sean Strickland, drew 723,000, which is down from UFC 209 prelims that 1,033 million viewers.

UFC 210 took place on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The prelims aired on UFC Fight Pass with four bouts at 6 p.m. ET and on FOX Sports 1 with four bouts at 8 p.m. ET. The main card aired on PPV at 10 p.m. ET with five bouts.

The pre-fight show drew 268,000 while the viewership numbers for the post-fight show were not made available and did not rank in the 150 shows on cable. The weigh-ins also did not rank in the top 150 shows on cable.

With the post-fight show not doing good numbers is a not a good sign for PPV buys as that meant that a lot of people were not interested enough to hang out and catch the results/highlights of the actual PPV main card after the event aired. Usually when a PPV event does a good/great PPV buyrate, then the prelims and the post-fight show does good viewership numbers.

The UFC returns to FOX Sports 1 this weekend with UFC on FOX 24 this Saturday at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The UFC Fight Pass prelims begins at 4:30 p.m. ET with five bouts then continues on FOX at 6 p.m. ET with four bouts. The main card airs at 8 p.m. ET with four bouts. A UFC Flyweight Championship match between current champion Demetrious Johnson and Wilson Reis will headline this event.

UFC Fight Night 210: 170lbs: Kamaru Usman Vs. Sean Strickland

 TUF 21 saw Kamaru Usman (9-1) start and finish the show for the Blackzilans when he took out Michael Graves to start things off and then had Hayder Hassan tap out with an unforgiving choke in the finale.

We have seen Usman really establish himself as clear superior against the likes of Leon Edwards and Warlley Alves in his most recent fights. Of his professional victories, as many as five of them can be attributed to knock outs.

On the other hand, Sean Strickland rose to the ranks when he surprisingly and against all odds turned heads thanks to his defeat of the revered Bubba McDaniel. Furthermore, this victory came in Stricklands debut fight which really got him a lot of attention and the spotlight. He won with a submission. However, things quite have not carried on with the same sort of momentum, he lost his fight to Luke Barnatt, albeit the decision proved very controversial, and then he was defeated again by Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Since these two defeats, Strickland has come back strong with three back to back wins. His most recent fight and victory was against Tom Breese during UFC Fight Night 199.

Prediction – both fighters are well rounded and are mostly going to be cancelling each other out. The fight is going to be technical and a lot of it may be fought on the floor. Usman is brimming with confidence and we think he will come out the winner via a unanimous decision.
