Tonight’s UFC Vegas 47 event was headlined by a key middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Sean Strickland.<\/p>\n
Hermansson (22-7 MMA) had most previously competed<\/a> back in May, where he earned a unanimous decision victory over highly touted prospect Edmen Shahbazyan. That win was of course preceded by a loss to Marvin Vettori<\/a> in December of 2020.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sean Strickland (25-3 MMA) had entered tonight’s UFC Vegas 47 main event sporting a five-fight winning streak. The controversial<\/a> American was coming off a unanimous decision victory over Uriah Hall in his latest effort.<\/p>\n Tonight’s UFC Vegas 47 headliner proved to be the story of Sean Strickland’s jab. The American was able to consistently batter the face of ‘The Joker’ with a lightning quick left hand which he used to dictate the contest. The fight went the full twenty-five minutes, but it was pretty clear that Strickland had done enough to get his hand raised… Or so we thought. One judge managed to score the fight for Hermansson, a decision which was booed by the few fans in attendance.<\/p>\n Official UFC Vegas 47 Result: Sean Strickland def.
