BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Jack Hermansson vs. Sean Strickland:

Steven Peterson, UFC featherweight: That is a good one. Sean Strickland is a wild card it should be a banger but I’ll lean Strickland.

Cody Stamann, UFC bantamweight: I think Strickland will win. It’s a good fight for Strickland as he has good takedown defense and he has good hands which is where Hermansson struggles. I don’t think there is a better matchup in the top-10 than Hermansson for Strickland.

Terrance McKinney, UFC lightweight: I have to go with Jack Hermansson, I think he can take Strickland down. Once he does that, his ground game is too good.

Jason Witt, UFC welterweight: I think Sean Strickland takes it. I’m not a personal fan of him, he’s kind of a douche but I think he has that fight. He will keep it standing and win it with his boxing.

Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: Oh, I have to go with Sean Strickland. His boxing is so good and crisp and he’ll be able to keep it standing where he has a big advantage over Hermansson.

Vinc Pichel, UFC lightweight: Strickland either by late finish or decision.

Trevin Giles, UFC welterweight: If I had to lean any kind of way, I’d go with Hermansson.

Ramiz Brahimaj, UFC welterweight: If Hermansson can impose his wrestling he can have a lot of success. Strickland has looked like a straight killer in there so I give the edge to Strickland.

Bryan Battle, UFC middleweight: I see Strickland winning, he has a lot of momentum and his boxing will be too good for Hermansson.
