UFC Fight Night:
Sean Thomas Strickland vs. Abusupiyan Abus Magomedov
"Sean Thomas Strickland stands very tall with an unusual guard that rests on or below his chin but he is constantly jabbing, feinting or hand-fighting regardless. Strickland thrives in his ability to move minimally inside the pocket so that he is still in range to counter and flow into his next combination, however, this is done with less slipping and rolling, rather he will lean away or angle off. He extends his guard when he pulls away so that his opponents tend to land on his arms. Opponents should look to attack Strickland’s lead leg, because as one of the best jabs in the UFC, Strickland does shift his weight heavily forward. Take away his leg and take away his jab, which is one of, if not his best weapon. That being said, when Strickland finds his lead leg being eaten he does tend to shift to a Thai stance, and use a good teep to keep his opponents at bay, this may provide Strickland's opponent opportunities to catch the leg and look for his trips and takedowns and test Strickland’s grappling from bottom. Strickland is big, strong, and technical but lacks the power and athleticism that many atop the division have in spades. Strickland tends to fight with an extreme upright stance, hands close to his jaw, and mouth open, often talking to his opponent. “Tarzan” has crisp boxing that relies on fundamentals, volume, and precision over aggression and power. Frustratingly, though, in back to back fights, Strickland’s game plan has been so bare bones that his fundamental boxing has been reduced to a single fundamental jab for most of the fight. Rather than using his quick and volume heavy jab to set up a power combination, recently, Strickland has kept his right hand glued to his face. It’s possible that getting knocked out permanently changed Strickland’s fighting style. Prior to getting KO’d, in a standup fight, Strickland often had the edge in boxing but often is a step behind when all facets of MMA striking come into play. Said another way, Strickland is a one-note boxer with little striking variety or power. When “on,” Strickland is able to push a steady and constant pace, fight intelligently and safely behind his jab, and land consistent combinations, when he lets his hands go. Strickland is also a sneaky wrestler. Most of his fights are technically driven and he wins decisions on the back of out pointing opponents; but, if he gets into trouble, Strickland has proven an ability to time a takedown and finish it with regularly success. Although, more often, Strickland uses his grappling chops as way to stuff opponent takedowns and keep the fight standing. Because Strickland doesn’t have much power or fight finishing ability himself, he relies on cardio and volume to win decisions. At times, though, even after Strickland wins the first part of a round, one big shot can sway the judges. This was apparent in his most recent loss to Cannonier. Strickland out-landed Cannonier but Cannonier did significantly more damage. Notably, he uses a very upright stance with a non-stop jab which is quick and lands with regularity. The issue is that while, on paper, the jab allows him to get up on the strike count, the visual of throwing a touch jab out there makes it less than appealing for the judges, hence him losing close decisions. Moreover, his upright stance of his creates an opportunity for his opponent to land a variety of strikes to his body and legs, and although Sean Strickland has impeccable durability and a keen sense to avoid the harshest end of a particular strike, the way in which his opponent lands looks more damaging than what he inflicts on his opponent"
"Abusupiyan Abus Magomedov is well-rounded but on the feet is where he likes to take control. He’s really good at controlling the fight at his preferred range. He can throw just single shots at times but his vision and shot placement make up for it. Magomedov uses a lot of hard feints drawing his opponent out of their comfort zone and then making them pay. He’s really slick when coming in on combinations— he can slip punches and return. “Abus” always leads combinations with a different attack and mixes up his patterns. Magomedov has power in everything he throws and has the output behind it when he comes forward. Magomedov doesn’t do it as much but he’s a darn good wrestler and the ground game is just as good. The trips he utilizes in the clinch and just basic wrestling skills are solid. He does have six submissions and four of those are by guillotine. He’s definitely someone you can’t shoot blindly on or just duck your head the wrong way on. Magomedov is just a problem on top with his submission game along with his top position and grappling. He doesn’t really have any glaring holes in his game. Magomedov does slow slightly as the fight goes but he’s never really gassed out. Age 32 and at 185 he still is in his prime. I think Abusupiyan Abus Magomedov has top 15 potential"
Both are age 32
Abus 1 inch taller and 2 inch reach advantage
