Sean Strickland is back in the win column after earning a unanimous decision win over Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Vegas 67 tonight.
The fight took place at light heavyweight after coming together on short notice, with Imavov tipping the scales 10 pounds lighter than Strickland. And it seems the lack of bulk came back to haunt Imavov, who was continually frustrated by Strickland and was visibly gassed in the later rounds.
The Frenchman did however look promising in the opening round, but the crafty Strickland did well to slip his power shots. Then from round two, Strickland increasingly controlled the pace of the fight, outstriking Imavov and dominating in the clinch.
The win sees Strickland snap a two-fight losing streak, which included a KO loss to Alex Pereira in July and a split decision defeat to Jared Cannonier just a little under a month ago. For Imavov, the loss was his first in four fights and comes after he earned a unanimous decision win over Joaquin Buckley in September.

Needed this urgency 2 rounds ago— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) January 15, 2023
As we had predicted in my camp, Imavov fades later in later rounds. And we wanted to use conditioning as a weapon. #UFCVegas67— #OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) January 15, 2023
Strickland getting a great win ?— DookieFart123 (@DookieFartMMA) January 15, 2023
Did you see the size of imavov compared to Strickland? He was taller and thicker. He also had a 12 week camp Strickland had 6 days— Korey Hutchinson (@deeznuts3567) January 15, 2023
Round 3 seems like Strickland's clearest winning round. The other two are close are hard to call. Imavov has bursts of inspiration, but Strickland's pace and defense won the last round.— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) January 15, 2023
30-27 Strickland! Not bad for 3 days notice… championship rounds coming up #UFCVegas67— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) January 15, 2023
Lol. Chris Curtis is feeling himself in the corner, talking smack to Ciryl Gane between rounds. #UFCVegas67— John Morgan (@JohnMorgan_MMA) January 15, 2023
