Video: Sean Strickland earns second win in 14 days at UFC Fight Night 182

Sean Strickland was out for two years, but he’s making up for it with two wins in two weeks.

[autotag]Sean Strickland[/autotag] was out of action for two years, but he sure is making up for lost time.

The 29-year old out of Southern California returned from a two-year absence on Oct. 31 and earned a unanimous decision over [autotag]Jack Marshman[/autotag].

Saturday, he looked even better. Fighting Brendan Allen in a 195-pound catchweight bout, Strickland (22-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) dominated en route to a second-round TKO finish. The time of the stoppage at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas was 1:32.

Strickland earned his second victory in 14 days, which ties him with Chris Leben for third-fastest turnaround between wins in modern, non-tournament UFC history, behind Khamzat Chimaev (10) and Chas Skelly (13).

A huge right to the jaw dropped Allen (15-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC), and Strickland, who displayed pinpoint striking throughout the bout, finished him with heavy right hands. You can see his handiwork below:

In a world where everything is shutting down and the sporting world is grinding to a halt, U.K.-based MMA promotion Cage Warriors simply refuses to be denied.

With the world in crisis during the COVID-19 outbreak, the promotion has been forced to take its event behind closed doors, move to a different city and shuffle the lineup several times over. Still, while other MMA promotions, including the UFC, have postponed their current schedule, Cage Warriors has been committed to getting this fight card in the books.

It all means Friday night’s Cage Warriors 113 event will be the only major MMA show to take place anywhere in the world this weekend, with UFC Fight Pass likely to pick up a huge audience as fans flock to the streaming platform to get their fix of live MMA action.

John Phillips calls for late-notice middleweight rematch with Jack Marshman at Cage Warriors 113

After seeing their respective UFC London bouts fall through, John Phillips proposed a late-notice bout with fellow Welshman Jack Marshman.

[autotag]John Phillips[/autotag] might not have a dance partner, but he still wants to fight on Friday night.

Phillips was originally set to face Dusko Todorovic at UFC on ESPN+ 29 in London on Saturday, but when the UFC was forced to postpone the event due to the escalating coronavirus crisis, it looked like his chance to compete had gone.

Then there was a plot twist, with Cage Warriors stepping in and agreeing to host the matchup as part of Friday night’s Cage Warriors 113 card, also set for London. But the event’s subsequent move to Manchester was followed by news that Todorovic could not travel to fulfill the fight booking.

[lawrence-related id=500839]

It leaves Phillips without a fight once again, but that hasn’t dimmed the desire to fight for “The Welsh Wrecking Machine,” and he has a new matchup in mind, a rematch with fellow countryman – and former Cage Warriors champion – [autotag]Jack Marshman[/autotag].

Marshman (23-9 MMA, 3-4 UFC) edged out a split decision against Phillips (22-9 MMA, 1-3 UFC) in London at UFC on ESPN+ 5 in March 2019, and Phillips says a rematch between the pair would be the perfect solution to both men’s canceled UFC London bouts.

Speaking to WHOA TV’s Mike Morgan, Phillips explained the situation, and his rematch proposal (via Twitter).

“So I’ve been informed that my opponent can’t make my fight and my fight’s off. He couldn’t get on a plane for some reason, I should imagine due to this virus scare and not knowing if he could fly home etc. I don’t really know. I don’t hold it personally against him, but my fight’s off. So I’m looking at the card and to salvage my fight and maybe another fight, the only fight that possibly can make sense on this card is me and Jack Marshman. He’s a middleweight, I’m a middleweight. His opponent hasn’t made it, my opponent hasn’t made it. Me and Jack are both based in Wales and we can drive to Manchester and put this show on.

“I think me and Jack, well, obviously we want to get paid, but we can show the public what two Welsh men can do and hopefully try to raise a bit of positiveness around it in this (expletive) situation. That’s the only fight that can make sense, it’s he only fight that can be salvaged. Jack needs paying, I need paying. Let’s re-run it, mate. Let’s get it on.”

 

Kevin Holland says he’s fighting Jack Marshman at UFC on ESPN+ 29

A middleweight matchup has been added to UFC London, according to one of the competitors.

[autotag]Kevin Holland[/autotag] says he has his next fight.

A Texas-based middleweight, Holland (16-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) announced he’ll be flying across the pond for his next fight: [autotag]Jack Marshman[/autotag] at UFC on ESPN+ 29. The announcement was made on his official Instagram page Friday.

UFC on ESPN+ 29 takes place March 21 at The O2 in London. The card streams on ESPN+.

Holland, 27, most recently competed in October at UFC on ESPN 6 in Boston. Although he came out on the losing end of a submission, Holland gave a gutsy performance against UFC debutant Brendan Allen. The loss snapped a three-fight winning streak for Holland dating back to November 2018.

The 30-year-old Mashman (23-9 MMA, 3-4 UFC) has lost three of his most recent four outings. At UFC 239 in July, Marshman was submitted by rising star Edmen Shahbazyan. Prior to that, Marshman edged out a split decision victory against John Phillips in March.

The latest UFC on ESPN+ 29 lineup includes:

  • Tyron Woodley vs. Leon Edwards
  • John Phillips vs. Dusko Todorovic
  • Darren Stewart vs. Marvin Vettori
  • Tom Aspinall vs. Raphael Pessoa
  • Ashlee Evans-Smith vs. Molly McCann
  • Paul Craig vs. Ryan Spann
  • Nicolas Dalby vs. Danny Roberts
  • Marc Diakiese vs. Stevie Ray
  • Gabriel Benitez vs. Lerone Murphy
