It will be fun to see how this friendly rivalry and potential match-up pans out in the future. The only thing certain is that the fans will thoroughly enjoy the fight and build up between the two.
Sean Strickland is unbeaten in five fights and looks set to be a serious threat in the division. In an interview with ‘The Schmo,’ Strickland expressed his desire to fight middleweight champion Israel Adesanya for the title soon.
He was quoted as saying:
“Izzy f***** starched [Derek] Brunson. Obviously, I want the title fight you know? I’ll bring Izzy a f***** bra. I hope he is f***** cycled off correctly. His f***** titty’s not down to here (pointing to the ground). But, I would like to title fight Izzy. So, do me a favour man, call me out bro. Let’s go anime. (Telling ‘The Schmo’) Anime, f***** gay right?”
Sean has openly been critical of Adesanya’s title run and a win this weekend will cement his position as the title contender.
