Russian kickboxer Vladislav Tuinov spoke about the UFC fighter’s style Sean Strickland.
On September 9, Strickland defeated Israel Adesanya by unanimous decision to win the UFC middleweight title at UFC 293.
“Strickland himself emphasized that he was comfortable in this position. It attracts its opponent because its head is quite open. The opponent sees the target and tries to reach it, but Strickland has excellent defense with his front hand, with which he constantly interferes – he straightens his shoulder or elbow. The one on the right is still on defense and covers the body. When attacking, he can raise his hand and block. This position is rare in kickboxing.
Strickland’s hands are in a specific position, but his advantage is that he doesn’t hold them too wide. They are collected close to the body, thanks to which you can strike more powerfully. When we start the punching motion from the foot and bring the body out, the power comes from the whole body. The pressing hand takes all the momentum and carries it towards the goal. Strickland catches and hits almost every shot along the shortest possible trajectory, which allows him to be more precise, Tuinov told RB Sport.
