Chris Weidman, former UFC middleweight champion, has stated his desire to fight the likes of former champion Sean Strickland.
"I would love to have a fight with Shawn. I have nothing but respect for Strickland. I think it would be fun. He would help me get over being such a good guy. We could exchange pleasantries with him, have some fun. I would love that fight, and I also like his style. He likes to tire guys out, so I would like to test myself in a fight with a guy like him," - quotes Weidman portal MMAJunkie.
Recall, in his next fight Strickland will meet in the octagon with Paulo Costa.
Former UFC middleweight champion American Sean Strickland has once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in his country.
Former UFC middleweight champion and current commentator and analyst Michael Bisping has spoken out about the upcoming fight between Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa.
"Crazy fight, huh? Costa hits more powerfully, it's clear beforehand. I've trained with Strickland, he's very good in terms of boxing. He almost finished Adesanya in the first round. Shawn is ready to fight dick to dick, nipple to nipple. His style is tied around the jab though. Costa will come forward and punch hard. But Shawn has the advantage of stamina. This will be a five-round fight. And that's a significant advantage for Strickland because he has a style that allows him to conserve energy. Costa hits hard, he throws spinning kicks, he throws high kicks. It's all nice and cool, but those techniques take a lot of energy," Bisping wrote on social media.
Sean Strickland, former UFC middleweight champion, has spoken out about his fight with former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa. Shawn stated that he likes Paulo, but he intends to bleed him dry.
