Sean Strickland vs Krzysztof Jotko- Who will make it 4-0 at UFC Vegas 25?

Sean Strickland has been in the UFC since March 2014. He made his UFC debut with a win over Bubba McDaniel. Since then, ‘Tarzan’ has had 11 fights in the octagon. He is currently on a three-fight win streak with two of those wins coming via T/KO. He will aim to make it 4-0 this weekend and move up in the rankings. 

‘Tarzan’ is known for his striking and has secured 45% of his wins via T/KO. In the UFC, he has landed a mind-boggling 4.34 significant strikes, while absorbing just 3.62 in return. He has also averaged 1.37 takedowns per 15 minutes and 0.5 submissions in the same time frame. 

Meanwhile, Jotko has secured 68% of his wins via decision. The Pole, who is also primarily a striker, has landed 2.98 significant strikes per minute and has absorbed 1.9 in return. Jotko has averaged 1.27 takedowns per 15 minutes and 0.09 submissions in the same time period.  

Strickland is arguably the better striker and is good on the ground as well. Given his form and recent performances, he should be able to nullify Jotko’s one-inch reach advantage and extend his win streak to 4-0. 

Prediction:- Sean Strickland via decision.
