After booking his title rematch at UFC 312 overnight, former champion, Sean Strickland has hit out at the unbeaten, — labelling the Chechen a “fake Muslim” and urging him to stay in his own lane as he prepares for a re-run with Dricus du Plessis.
Strickland, who currently holds the number one rank at the middleweight limit, will officially headline UFC 312 in February, making his return to Australia in a grudge match with the incumbent titleholder and former foe, du Plessis.
Most recently featuring at UFC 302 back in June, Strickland would land a hard-fought split decision win over former title challenger, Paulo Costa in the pair’s grudge match in New Jersey.
