Incoming title challenger and UFC 312 headliner, Sean Strickland has labelled outgoing Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, after the former announced this evening that he will be resigning from his post following a surge in support for the Conservative party in recent polls.
Strickland, the current number one ranked middleweight challenger, is slated to headline UFC 312 next month in a return to Sydney, challenging former-foe and current titleholder, Dricus du Plessis in a rematch of their first pairing at the beginning of last year.
Headlining UFC 297 last January in a trip to Ontario, Strickland suffered a split decision loss to du Plessis, dropping his middleweight crown in his first attempted title defense, resulting in a tirade against both the judges overseeing his bout, as well as the Canadian government to boot.
