Entering UFC Vegas 47, fight fans were eagerly anticipating the middleweight main event between Jack Hermansson and the surging Sean Strickland.
In one corner, Hermansson sought to pick up his second straight victory while maintaining his position in the 185-pound division’s title picture. He was surrounded by Strickland who, despite having moved up from the welterweight weight, had not suffered defeat.
But after five rounds of action, Strickland emerged victorious after bouncing his jab off Hermansson’s face for 25 minutes.
Below is how other fighters responded to all the action at UFC APEX.

So, does Sal D’Amato need to tell anyone about why he got it for Jack. I would be interested in his explanation for the score he gave Jack. Judge accountability should be a thing. #UFCVegas47

I agree. I think activity helped him a ton here. Way too much waiting from Gore. Gore is an animal tho. When he throws, it’s a scary connection to those brain cells! #UFCVegas47 https://t.co/oohLjadfom

This fight is WILD! Peterson back into the fight now. Erosa has to be more defensively responsible in this 3rd RD and he should win this. #UFCVegas47
