Strickland used a power jab to piece up Hall, who had little answers to Strickland’s fundamentally sound gameplan.

The 10-fight card was shredded by late cancellations in the week leading up to the event, but there were plenty of noteworthy performances including Cheyanne Buys’ tremendous knockout of Gloria de Paula in the co-main event.

Check back next week for more analysis from the Fight Night Picks team leading up to UFC 265, featuring Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane dueling for the interim heavyweight title.
