UFC middleweight Darren Till has dropped his prediction for one of the most anticipated fights that the division has to offer. Famed kickboxer turned MMA fighter Alex Pereira is primed to go head to head against a tried and tested contender in Sean Strickland.
‘Poatan’ is 2-0 in the UFC and is 5-1 as a professional as compared to Sean Strickland’s extensive record of 25-3. The deficit in experience is what makes the fight compelling and UFC fans have been constantly debating the different routes this fight can go. For many, the test placed ahead of Alex Pereira is likely set to be far too steep given Strickland’s experience in all facets of the game, and Darren Till shares said sentiment.
Darren Till is frequently commenting on the happenings within the MMA community and he weighed in on the Strickland and Pereira showdown. Per Till, Strickland’s experience in the grappling realm is going to be overwhelming for Pereira who hasn’t been training on his ground game for as long as Strickland has.
Additionally, Darren Till called the end of the fight to come in at the first round and it’s clear that he’s calling for an early night in the office for ‘Tarzan’.
