MMA news: Sean Strickland back in action vs Anthony Hernandez – but is his star quality waning?

Sean Strickland returns to action on Saturday, February 14 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas against Anthony Hernandez after being out of action for just over a year.

Strickland had the MMA world fully behind him when he won the middleweight title against long-reigning champion Israel Adesanya as a 5/1 underdog.

The brash, outspoken nature of Strickland felt like a breath of fresh air to many fans, but public sentiment has since shifted to focus on his underwhelming fighting style, reports Sports News Blitz’s MMA writer Samuel Faris-Clark.
