Sean Strickland is establishing a new UFC Striking Record
During Du Plessis vs Strickland 2, the commentators were paused to mention that a new UFC record had been set.
Joe Rogan's commentary replacement, Michael Bisping, was the perfect man to respond to the news.
'The Count' established the middleweight important strikes on 1384 at 1384 during his Hall of Fame career.
More than seven years after the pension fight of Bisping, his impressive performance was surpassed by Strickland.
Towards the end of the game, he had landed the new bar at 1465 important strikes. Strickland that destroys the 2000 marking is not excluded, because he still has many fights in him, even though he fails against Du Plessis.
Bisping quickly congratulated his former sparring partner before he re -concentrated on the UFC 312 action.
