Entering UFC Vegas 47, fight fans were eagerly anticipating the middleweight main event between Jack Hermansson and the surging Sean Strickland.
In one corner, Hermansson sought to pick up his second straight victory while maintaining his position in the 185-pound division’s title picture. But across from him stood the outspoken Strickland, who had yet to taste defeat since moving up from welterweight.
But after five rounds of action, Strickland emerged victorious after bouncing his jab off Hermansson’s face for 25 minutes.
Below is how fellow fighters reacted to the entire night of action inside the UFC APEX.

“I’m a POS with money!!”
- Sean Strickland#UFCVegas47
So does Sal D’Amato have to report to anyone on why he scored it for Jack? Would be very interested to hear his reasoning for giving him that score on the cards. Judge accountability should be a thing. #UFCVegas47

I agree. I think activity helped him a ton here. Way too much waiting from Gore. Gore is an animal tho. When he throws, it’s a scary connection to those brain cells! #UFCVegas47 https://t.co/oohLjadfom

This fight is WILD! Peterson back into the fight now. Erosa has to be more defensively responsible in this 3rd RD and he should win this. #UFCVegas47
