Strickland's trainer named the round in which Sean will knock out Costa

Eric Nixick, coach of former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, revealed in which round his charge will knockout Paulo Costa.

"I think Shawn will be able to finish Costa by the fourth or fifth round. It's going to be a five-round fight and I feel like that definitely benefits us in terms of toughness and the pressure and pace that Sean can maintain. We've seen what Strickland can do at five-round distance - he's gassing all the time, he's in front of you all the time. So five-round fights are to our advantage," - quotes Eric Nixick portal Sportskeeda.

Recall, the confrontation between Strickland and Costa will take place on June 2 in Newark, USA.
