A key middleweight bout between Uriah Hall and Sean Strickland served as the headliner of tonight’s UFC Vegas 33 event.
Hall (17-10 MMA) had entered tonight’s main event sporting a four-fight winning streak. During that impressive run, ‘Prime Time’ earned stoppage victories over Bevon Lewis, Anderson Silva and most recently Chris Weidman.
Meanwhile, Sean Strickland (23-3 MMA) also entered tonight’s UFC Vegas 33 headliner with Uriah Hall on a four-fight win streak. The California native had most previously competed at May’s UFC Vegas 25 event, where he earned a unanimous decision victory over Krzysztof Jotko.
Tonight’s UFC Vegas 33 headliner proved to be a rather one sided affair. While Uriah Hall showed a ton of heart in fighting the full twenty-five minutes, he had little to offer Strickland this evening. Instead, Sean Strickland shined in his first career UFC main event outpointing ‘Prime Time’ for the majority of their five-round contest.

That was Sean’s round but I sense that Uriah started to get more comfortable with Sean’s style. #UFCVegas33

I didn’t know who Strickland was before but man I sure do now. Ground and pounding his opponent while telling him to get up because he wants to keep fighting.
