UFC Houston Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Sean Strickland Finishing Anthony Hernandez; Title Shot Next?

from MMA Fighting · host MMA Fighting

Sean Strickland delivered a big-time performance after a year on the sidelines, dominating and stopping the surging Anthony Hernandez in the main event of UFC Houston. Strickland called out middleweight champ Khamzat Chimaev after the fight, but did he do enough to leapfrog Nasourdine Imavov? Following the UFC Fight Night event in Houston, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee react to the card as a whole, Strickland's performance in the win, Hernandez's showing in the loss and if he's out of the title hint for good, and if Strickland locked up a title shot. Additionally, they discuss Uros Medic's incredible finish in the co-main event, Melquizael Costa stopping Dan Ige for his fifth win in less than a year, the ending of Jacobe Smith's brutal knockout of Josiah Harrell, referee blunders, and more.
