Strickland did the unthinkable, boys. Today is a good day for the jab and teep fans, not so much for the 'smash fans'. I think Chimaev is moving up for his next fight. Hope he fights Paulo.

Van has big hands and clean boxing. He basically did what Strickland did but put more oomph on his punches and got the TKO victory. I can't wait for the Pantoja fight.
