July 1st at the classic UFC APEX, UFC Vegas 76 goes down and promises to be a thrilling showdown between two impressive middleweight fighters – Sean Strickland and Abusupiyan Magomedov. UFC President Dana White confirmed the exciting and slightly unexpected five-round bout during a recent video announcement.
Magomedov, who made his octagon debut last September, has already established himself as a fierce competitor after a quick first-round victory over Dustin Stoltzfus in less than a minute. White stated that Strickland is taking on a challenging opponent, as Magomedov is a fighter “nobody wants to fight.”
Strickland’s aggressive striking style, distance management and unwavering pressure have proven to be successful, with his most recent win over Nassourdine Imavov another young and upcoming fighter. Despite losses to former title challenger Jared Cannonier and former champ Alex Pereira, Strickland remains a dangerous and exciting fighter to watch. It’s worth noting that this will be his fourth fight in just 12 months, indicating his commitment to staying active in the octagon and eventually reaching UFC gold.
