Former Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland Hopes To Get Back Into The Title Conversation With A Win At UFC 302: Makhachev vs Strickland
You could probably count the amount of fighters who enjoy preparing for five-round fights on two hands. Sean Strickland is emphatically one of them. In fact, if there was only one fighter who would qualify for such a description, it would be Strickland. If it came to a point where you couldn’t think of any fighters, that probably means Strickland decided to hang up the gloves.
So, when UFC matchmakers came up with an offer to fight Paulo Costa in the co-main event at UFC 302: Makhachev vs Poirier with the option between three and five rounds, there was really only one answer.
