UFC Houston: Sean Strickland vs. Anthony Hernandez

By: ms25safron

Date:

UFC Houston is set to go down on Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, with 14 fights on offer.

The main event of the night pits former middleweight champion Sean Strickland against the No.4-ranked Anthony Hernandez. Many believe a win here could put either man in the title picture.

Strickland was last seen in action, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 312 in February of last year. Meanwhile, Hernandez is on an eight-fight win streak, most recently scoring a submission win against Roman Dolidze.

In the co-main event, perennial welterweight contender Geoff Neal will take on Uros Medic. A featherweight clash between Dan Ige and Melquizael Costa is another standout fight on the main card.
