"Overthink Nothing" - Conor McGregor Heaps Praise After Sean Strickland's Impressive Win over Anthony Hernandez

  • On February 21, 2026, former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland defeated Anthony Hernandez via TKO at 2:33 of the third round at UFC Fight Night in Houston.
  • Following his February 2025 title loss, Strickland missed time in the second half of 2025 after a Nevada State Athletic Commission suspension, then returned Saturday.
  • Using his jab and footwork, UFC Stats showed Strickland outlanded Hernandez 92-62 and hurt him with a knee to the body in the third.
  • The win snapped Hernandez's eight-fight win streak, and Strickland earned his first knockout in more than two years, marking a significant career milestone.
  • After the win, Strickland called for a title opportunity despite not expecting a shot soon, saying `If Chimaev gets off the bench, I'd like a piece`.
