Jack Hermansson vs. Sean Strickland was a solid main event.
The two fighters met in a bout on Saturday night (February 5, 2022) at the UFC Vegas 47 event from Las Vegas, Nevada at the UFC Apex facility.
The fight opened with Jack going for a takedown, but it was shut down and they clinched. For the rest of the first round, Jack was looking to counter strike while Strickland was landing his jabs and finding a home for him. Sean dropped him as the second round ended.
The third round saw Jack start to come alive as he was starting to land more shots. Hermansson started off the round with a takedown attempt, but couldn’t get him down. He had issues with his range and couldn’t get it down so he was missing on a lot of shots. Sean was bleeding from his nose at the end of the fourth round. The last round saw them continue to strike aside from Jack going for a takedown attempt, but not getting it. Strickland got the win by decision.

Way too conservative for my liking…I need SS to go full Chainsaw Massacre the last minute at least #UFCVegas47

Strickland has made Hermanson look like an amateur, that’s how much he’s strategically picked him a part. He should move in and knock him out tho #UFCVegas47

Strickland had a sneaky way of fighting using not much energy and making you go at his pace. He also sees everything with great vision and reactions defensively

We get so caught up in the highlights of the trash talking and savagery that we forget that Strickland starts so calculated before he goes zero to psycho. #UFCVegas47

Calculated shell shown by the savage that is Strickland. Mainly a negotiative jab to keep in Jack’s face to set the foundation before the onslaught. #UFCVegas47
