Sean Strickland vs Anthony Hernandez - AI generated fight pick

Sean Strickland's experience, durability, and well-rounded MMA skillset give him a slight edge in this matchup. He has faced championship-level opposition for years and boasts a strong takedown defense (76%) and significant strike defense (61%), both of which are higher than Anthony Hernandez's. While Hernandez is on a fantastic run with high finishing ability and a superior significant strike accuracy (63%), his striking defense (50%) is below Strickland's, and his takedown defense (68%) could be tested by Strickland's underrated wrestling. Historically, fighters with Strickland's size (slight reach and height advantage), defensive metrics, and championship experience have fared well against aggressive finishers like Hernandez, especially in longer fights. However, Hernandez's submission threat and recent form keep this pick from being higher confidence.
