Sean Strickland regrets treating UFC Vegas 47 win as ‘low-level sparring match’

Sean Strickland might have got the W on Saturday night, but the controversial UFC middleweight is treating the victory as one of his worst performances to date.

Strickland says he fought like a ‘pansy’ against Jack Hermansson in the UFC Vegas 47 main event and, despite cruising to a decision victory, says he let the pressure get to him on the night and treated the fight as a ‘low-level sparring match’.

I probably shouldn't say this and no disrespect to Jack he's a warrior... but I feel like I didn't even try this fight.
