Sean Strickland claims the UFC may deny him title fight: They don’t want me holding the microphone’

Sean Strickland thinks he may not get the next middleweight title shot.

After Strickland beat Paulo Costa at UFC 302 in June, he said his next fight would be for the middleweight title. The title is up for grabs at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia as Dricus Du Plessis takes on Israel Adesanya. After that, both Strickland and Robert Whittaker have a case for the title shot, but Strickland thinks if he doesn’t get the title shot it is because they don’t want him on the mic as the champion again.
