[Applause] favorites even money Underdog for Sean Strickland Allen in the red Strickland in the black straight away Alan pushing forward nice low kick and how to want to I’m really excited to see there the Striking improvements that he has since working with Henry hoof look at that Martin chiming in on Twitter really likes this fight says he hopes to hear the Strickland smack talk which we heard a couple of weeks ago when he fought on Halloween Strickland was Gavin all fight while he was beating up Jack marshman asked Brendan Allen or Brendan Allen was asked about that this week and he said with the way that I attack he’s not going to have any time or room to talk yeah well I was just gonna say the kind of pressure that Brendan Allen puts on people I don’t think he’s going to be saying much he’s going to be too busy thinking about the fight by the way though tremendous display of hard there excellent fight kept coming forward the whole time but look at this good take down by Sean yeah nicely done caught the cake pushed him back Strickland goes into the guard of Allen and Sean’s a very tricky customer on the ground I remember the first time I rolled with him I was very very well I was caught off guard pardon the pun but look Brendan on tried to hit the sweep there almost got out round to the side and took the back pushed forward to stay in top position what they have on the mat guards open good thanks everybody back but Allen right to his feet breathing while we’re working Sean Strickland a native of California but he’s found in Las Vegas with Syndicate MMA and John Wood in his corner you heard the stern warning there defense crap three minutes like he tried to do that to get the wizard look at Sean wisely gets that one hook in I’m trying to get the other one in but watch grabbing that fence came close again yeah I heard Dean does not mess around Strickland stays on the back there Allen looking for a way out now covering it up yeah he saw Sean kind of telegraphed that left hand there could have got it Brendan saw it covered up nicely that one escapes and pumps the jab and then follows it up with a leg kick oh nice combination from Strickland yeah a lot of Pulp on that nice one too it’s nice by Sean you know in the past it was very elusive he was on the back foot moving around a lot but now he’s planting his feet and going forward generating a lot more power in his shots Strickland said that the biggest thing that’s been holding him back in his career is that he doesn’t always give his opponents the respect they deserved bows that’s a thing of the past laser focused on Brendan Allen and looking pretty good early and reverses the position there yeah well Sean also said if I perform the way I do in the gym in the Octagon I’ll be champion of the world and I gotta say listen I hear what he’s saying he’s very good in the gym the problem is replicating that kind of performance in the Octagon against a world-class opponent when the pressure is on and the bright lights are on and the world is watching it’s a very different thing there wasn’t many performances that I had where I felt that I performed to my potential but Sean is really finding his potential despite two weeks over Sensational oh and he’s having a good fight here but he just caught a massive left hook biggest shot of the fight comes from Brendan Allen with just over a minute to go in the first round that wobbled the knees of Strickland but he’s back underneath him that one two is beautiful for Sean though pumping out that jab Sean Strickland with regularity here yeah Brendan’s having a hard time getting past that job there’s a bit of head movement in these to use some faints there’s no faints here from Brendan he’s just trying to walk forward and he’s coming on to the end of the jab of Sean and a 1-2 rips to the body but still that one two was nice now I’m trying to close things down here along the fence Strickland immediately reverses it again 30 seconds to go [Music] 20 seconds another jab that splits the guard followed up by a right hand from Strickland oh front kick catches the chin heavy shots from each side look at this absolute board and I knew this was going to be a good fight and very evenly matched physically skill wise everything we’ve gone five minutes second round coming up [Music] yeah Brendan Allen coming forward with a sense of urgency his Corner were very happy with the word that he had look at that almost went down there I would have told them to use some faints though the job of Sean Strickland and the one two of Sean has given him a lot of problems he’s walking onto shots if he uses some faints he’s going to draw out that jab from Sean and then he can go in and try and do his work right now it’s just a test of speed both guys are just trying to punch you’ve got to set traps gonna try and open the door make your opponent react and then go for the kill nice combos from Sean though look at that and he’s not winding up he’s not putting everything into it he’s just letting the punches do the talking now the damage he does with seemingly little effort right he just throws him out there it’s not like he’s thrown from the hip and hitting home runs he’s just powerful that got his attention though that calf kick now I’m trying to close the distance and make this one a little dirtier here real point though as you said you know that they almost look like arm shots but they’re doing a lot of damage right they’re finding the mark frequently as I said he needs head movement and he needs paints because I’m not seen either right now [Music] it does Sean Strickland wow [Music] he was just throwing them out there wasn’t looking for The Knockout letting the punches do the talking and putting together combinations one after the other and look at this when he had him heard waiting for the kill and Herb Dean said Brendan Allen from a lot of damage there and that was a huge win for Sean Brendan Allen is top of the food chain Sean Strickland yeah looked Sensational let’s make this one official and for that here’s Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen referee Herb Dean has called a stop to this contest at one minute 32 seconds of round number two declaring the winner by TKO Sean Tarzan and uh
