News Sean Strickland vs Fluffy Hernandez set to headline UFC Houston on February 21

[fizzlehiss]

Fluffy seems yo have overcome his fear of engagement aka his Kevin Holland loss. He likey won't be scared of those silly teeps and easily tae Sean down into a W if not a finish on the feet.

So does this mean all events will be numbered now? No more fight night branding? Because 324 is supposedly the week before. Or are they just kicking it off strong?

It's not at the Apex, typically cards in stadiums have big fights with non champs as the headline.

Nothing signed yet, at least for now.

Ahh rather get another 15 minutes of sleep. Does Strickland have any fans left?

Not really interested when a potential fight with Sean Strickland comes around. It's just jabs and teep kicks to the score cards and then he wants to act like he fought like he was Wanderlei Silva.

I would love to see Fluffy win this to shake up the division.

Not sure what you mean by over exposed. Other than AP, no one has really wiped him out at MW. Sean has excellent cardio so he shouldn't have a problem dealing with Fluffy's pace and pressure. Sean is also the more refined striker and is more defensively sound, although he lacks power.

What about Sean's cardio impresses you? He just shuffles his feet and throws jabs and keeps. Of course he can do that for 5 rounds. If Fluffy can take him down and force him to get back up or grapple on the ground, and Sean's cardio holds up, then I'll be impressed.

IMO if Fluffy can take Sean down he'll win by submission or decision, if he cant take him down he'll lose by TKO.

Strickland has never been submitted across all 36 fights of his pro career. If Fluffy wins I think it's gotta be decision, I don't see his striking style working to hurt Strickland on the feet. He had to respect DDP on the feet cause of how awkward and powerful he is.

Make it a number card and let can headline his hometown

I don't think Fluffy can stand with Sean. He's gonna get pieced up if they remain standing. Sean has good TDD and good sub defense but if Fluffy can actually make Sean get tired who knows?

Looks like Paramount/UFC is still struggling to put together some good cards.

I guess they are "free" though...
