Recently, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Dana White, announced that Strickland will face Du Plessis for the UFC middleweight title at UFC 297 in Toronto, Canada. Fans were expecting, that Strickland would be facing Chimaev for the title fight quite soon, but we think that might be a future fight.
Strickland recently became the UFC middleweight champion after defeating Israel Adesanya in the UFC 293 event. This is going to be his first-ever title defense in the UFC, and he would definitely love to win the fight. On the other hand, Du Plessis is undefeated in the UFC ring and is on a six-fight winning streak.
Both fighters have different fighting styles, and things are going to get spiced up sooner. Sean Strickland vs Dricus Du Plessis for the middleweight title at UFC 297 is on, and fans are going to get a great fight.
In case you missed: “Khamzat Chimaev doesn’t f***ing deserve the title shot,” says Sean Strickland
