Sean Strickland will attempt to earn his sixth straight win this Saturday night (Feb. 5, 2022) when he takes on Jack Hermansson in the main event of UFC Vegas 47 from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada on ESPN+.
Prior to his showdown against “The Joker,” let’s take a look at the last time Strickland was inside the Octagon. In July 2021, “Tarzan” found himself staring down sensational striker Uriah Hall in the center of the cage. Coming into the fight, “Prime Time” was riding high after winning his previous four fights (three via technical knockout). One more win for him could have moved him closer to a shot at the strap.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) departs APEX for a special “Fight Night” extravaganza at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Sat., March 25, 2023, featuring a pair of thrilling 135-pound bouts. Surging No. 4-ranked contender Marlon Vera goes for his fifth consecutive win when he takes on exciting finisher and No. 5-seeded Cory Sandhagen.
