Former Bellator champion, Russian fighter Andrei Koreshkov I talked about training with Sean Strickland .
On the night of September 10, the channel will broadcast the UFC 293 tournament live. In the main event of the evening, Nigerian promotion middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will meet Strickland.
Did you fight with Strickland?
“Yes, during two introductions to battles. I trained for Chidi Njokuani in 2017 and Strickland was still welterweight at the time. He wasn’t hit hard. As a sparring partner, he was not bad: it’s not easy with him, but not difficult either. He is harmless, non-traumatic, able to fight and fight.
Strickland’s style is often described as clumsy.
– For me, he was an ordinary opponent, I didn’t experience anything super uncomfortable. But then again, that was six years ago. I liked training with him, as a partner he was comfortable.
– Did he then defend himself in the boxing style of the “Philadelphia Shell”?
– He has a classic boxing stance. In large boxing gloves it is a bit different, the protection is not as open. The style was more or less similar, quotes Koreshkov “RB Sport”.
