Sean Strickland, UFC middleweight champion, spoke about the upcoming fight with Dricus Du Plessis. The American hopes that this confrontation will take place in a standing position and that he will not have to use his skills in wrestling.
“Unfortunately, I have to fight every day, but I wish we could do it like men - stand in the middle of the cage and fight until one of us falls asleep. We don't need to fight. I'm not fucking Khabib. We're here to fight,” Strickland said.
Let us remind you that the fight between Strickland and Du Plessis will headline UFC 297.
