UFC analyst Jim West believes champion Sean Strickland presents a unique challenge within the middleweight division, citing Anthony Hernandez’s recent loss as an example. West suggests Strickland’s fighting style is unlike any other currently in the weight class.
West explained that Strickland’s recent victory over Hernandez was somewhat unexpected, framing the loss as an “outlier.” He emphasized that Strickland’s skillset is difficult for opponents to prepare for, as he doesn’t fight like typical middleweights.
According to West, “Sean Strickland presents a challenge that nobody else does at middleweight.” He believes this uniqueness contributed to Hernandez’s defeat, implying that other fighters may also struggle to adapt to Strickland’s approach. The analyst did not elaborate on specific aspects of Strickland’s style that make him so challenging, but highlighted the overall difficulty opponents face when competing against him.
