Quick read
Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvidal have both commented on Sean Strickland's wrestling abilities, noting they are of a high level. Poirier stated he knows several good wrestlers who train with Strickland and confirmed he is strong, difficult to hold down in the ground game, and skilled at getting back to his feet. Masvidal acknowledged that Khamzat Chimaev represents a different level than Strickland's previous opponents, but emphasized that Strickland has handled fighters closer to Chimaev's caliber well. Masvidal personally witnessed Strickland training with and wrestling against heavyweights, and noted it is very difficult to keep Strickland on the ground based on what he has seen in both training and fights.
