Sean Strickland reveals arm fracture pre-UFC 312 title fight: ‘I was in Colombia getting stem cells’

Off the back of his disappointing loss at UFC 312, Sean Strickland has revealed he fractured his arm during a training session just eight weeks out from his main event in Sydney, requiring him to travel to Colombia to undergo stem cell treatment.

Strickland, a former undisputed middleweight champion, headlined UFC 312 last weekend in a grudge rematch fight against the incumbent, Dricus du Plessis.

And dropping his second career loss to the South African in a thirteen month period, Strickland was unable to mount any real significant often against the defending gold holder, finding himself on the wrong side of a rather comprehensive unanimous decision defeat.
