Key Stats: 5.14 strikes landed per minute, 67% significant strike defense, 1.14 takedowns per 15 minutes
What It Means: Particularly at middleweight, Strickland seems to have found a marauding style that works for him. He relies heavily on his boxing. Defensively, his head movement and ability to shell up and counter makes him particularly slippery while he moves forward. It seems like he’s always pawing out something toward his opponent, which makes it a little difficult to catch a rhythm. He does love a phonebooth fight, and he’ll mix in a kick or two as well.
What to Look For in the Fight: Strickland will likely start the fight as the person moving forward, applying pressure. He’ll want to crowd Hall to nullify Hall’s kicking game, but Hall’s footwork and athleticism should allow him to set up his techniques, regardless. Whether Strickland mixes things up a little bit and grapples is up in the air, as both could very well put on an entertaining striking battle.
