Pick: Sean Strickland

Reigning bantamweight champion Sean O’ Malley, who will defends his strap for the first time in March, thinks Strickland will be to much for his opponent.

”If Sean Strickland shows up like he did against Izzy, I think he beats DDP,” O’Malley predicts. ”I mean, he seemed very calm against Izzy. Five fives against Strickland is a nightmare. I just have a feeling that Strickland gets the job done.”
