A peek into his camp in "Uch-ta." lol

Alex speaking some English at the beginning, saying he's working on improving his English.

He and Sean both sharpening up one another before this upcoming match.

They seem to push each other well as team mates.
 
Strickland seems like an ideal sparring partner for a high level guy (although he hurts his own counterparts when he's the focus of the camp.)

His high pressure, volume, and generally tight defense is going to keep his partner honest.

And frankly, I don't believe that he can really hurt (no shade, just my opinion) a high level fighter at 185 or higher unless they make a big mistake and he's trying really hard to do damage.
 
these 2 have become quite a nice odd couple, enjoy their sparring clips. I actually think Sean will be a good sparring partner because he is constantly throwing, he throws a lot even if its pitter patter type punches and that keeps you on your toes constantly and you have to keep reacting to it. Good for timing and accuracy

Yeah and he has really good cardio, so he can push Alex's cardio further as well.

Very true, good point. Those guys that throws lots of punches like Strickland or Max Holloway for example are really great to spar with because you have to keep reacting to them and you can't stop for a second because they are always throwing, doesn't matter if its super light punches.. you still have to react to it. Keeps you on your toes constantly.
