Stepping in on less than one week's notice, Sean Strickland impressed in a five-round decision victory over fellow middleweight contender Nassourdine Imavov
LAS VEGAS—Stepping in on less than one week's notice, Sean Strickland impressed in a five-round decision victory over fellow middleweight contender Nassourdine Imavov.replacing an injured Kelvin GastelumImavov opened quickly at the start of the bout, pumping out a quick jab and chopping at the legs.
At the start of the second, Strickland's cornerman and fellow UFC middleweight Chris Curtis urged him to push the pace, insisting Imavov was already tiring. Strickland responded with an aggressive pace, moving forward with flurries of punches. Imavov was forced to fight largely on the back foot, and while he was able to find brief moments of offense, the momentum seemed to favor Strickland.
Imavov pushed forward to start the fourth, but Strickland defended well and quickly went back on the attack. Utilizing straight punches down the middle, kicks to the body, and holding control in the occasional clinch saw him gain firm control of the contest and visibly frustrated Imavov.
