Kamaru Usman V Sean Strickland: What will go down:

Blackzillian beast Kamaru Usman to be unleashed at UFC 210.

Welterweight behemoths Kamaru Usman and Sean Strickland throw down at UFC 210, with both men vying for the #10 spot in the Welterweight rankings. Currently unbeaten in the UFC, 'The Nigerian Nightmare' Usman was victorious over Warlley Alves last November, and holds The Ultimate Fighter season 21 crown, submitting Hayder Hassan via a tight arm-triangle in the summer of 2015. Despite failing to finish any future fights since then, Kamaru has gained some truly valuable experience by completing the fifteen subsequent rounds. Huge prospect Sean Strickland, is a legitimate KO artist, and has only been overthrown once in his professional career. The former long time King of the Cage Middleweight champion, is only 26 years of age, but has already faced and beaten familiar names Luke Barnatt Alex Garcia and most recently Tom Breese at UFC 199. Strickland backs up his striking prowess with his vast grappling knowledge, holding a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Usman on the other hand, is an explosive wrestler, stemming from his NCAA Division II background, and some of this explosive power obviously translates into his hands. Make no mistake about it, Kamaru can crack, but as of yet has been unable to finish any opponents since his octagon bow, unlike Saturday's opponent Sean Strickland. Despite this, in my opinion, Kamaru will really look to establish his wrestling ability early on and lay down some ground and pound, on his way to a decision win.

Kamaru Usman via split decision.
