Eric Nicksick To Corner Sean Strickland at UFC Houston Despite Past Camp Issues
Sean Strickland, Eric NicksickCoach Eric Nicksick will corner Sean Strickland when ‘Tarzan’ makes his return to the octagon at UFC Houston on February 21 against Anthony Hernandez.
Nicksick and Strickland had parted ways after the former criticized Strickland’s UFC 312 performance against Dricus du Plessis. While Strickland promised an entertaining fight and pledged to stand and bang against ‘Stillknocks,’ on fight night, he produced a lackluster show and just jabbed the whole 25 minutes. Du Plessis also broke the American fighter’s nose in Round 4 of the title rematch.
