Sean Strickland’s knocks have grown louder and louder as he stands at the doorway to contention in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s middleweight division.
The 30-year-old Californian will square off with “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 17 finalist Uriah Hall in the UFC on ESPN 28 main event this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Strickland has rattled off four straight victories—his longest such streak since he joined the UFC roster as an undefeated prospect in 2014. He last appeared at UFC on ESPN 23, where he took a three-round unanimous decision from Krzysztof Jotko on May 1.
