Sean Strickland recently claimed he would beat Jack Hermansson "half to death" in upcoming bout
Sean Strickland recently predicted the outcome of his upcoming bout at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Strickland against Jack Hermansson.
In a recent interview with ESPN MMA, Strickland admitted that his punching power wasn't the best. With that in mind, he envisions himself defeating Hermansson with consistent pressure throughout the battle.
'Tarzan' described how the contest would go as the rounds went on and the damage he planned to inflict on Hermansson:
"There's a sad fact about me. I don't really hit that hard. It's one of those things that I've accepted... So, I could just see me beating him half to death for 25 minutes, you know. I would like to see, you know, his face. It's kind of fun when you start fighting someone. You start hitting in the first round then you get a black eye. Second round, the nose starts bleeding, you know. Third round, lip starts bleeding. I can't count. But anyways, as the fight goes on, it's fun to watch the damage progress and hopefully I'm not the one getting my a** kicked."
