Quick read
Sean Strickland's coach Eric Nicksick believes that if 'Tarzan' defeats Anthony Hernandez this weekend at UFC Houston, a title fight against Khamzat Chimaev would be a compelling main event that could headline the White House card. Nicksick noted that Strickland attracts significant attention and that the matchup would have added intrigue given their shared training history and previous exchanges. From a stylistic perspective, Nicksick believes Strickland could pose a significant challenge to the reigning champion. Strickland previously declined an offer to fight Chimaev but enters his Houston bout as the betting underdog following his title loss to Dricus du Plessis.
