Sean Strickland delivered a big-time performance after a year on the sidelines, dominating and stopping the surging Anthony Hernandez in the main event of UFC Houston. Strickland called out middleweight champ Khamzat Chimaev after the fight, but did he do enough to leapfrog Nasourdine Imavov?<\/p>\n
Following the UFC Fight Night event in Houston, MMA Fighting\u2019s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee react to the card as a whole, Strickland\u2019s performance in the win, Hernandez\u2019s showing in the loss and if he\u2019s out of the title hint for good, and if Strickland locked up a title shot.
