Quick read
Eric Nicksick, coach of Sean Strickland, predicts fans will rally behind 'Tarzan' for a potential main event against middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev if Strickland defeats Anthony Hernandez at UFC Houston on February 21. Nicksick highlighted the stylistic matchup and shared history, noting Strickland's ability to draw eyes despite past refusal of the fight. Strickland enters as underdog after loss to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312. A win could fast-track him to title contention in a stacked division. Nicksick expects quick turnaround if unscathed.
