Sonnen spoke about Strickland's future in the UFC

Former UFC fighter and current analyst and commentator Chael Sonnen shared information on what the future holds for former middleweight champion Sean Strickland in the promotion.

"Based on what I've heard, I see two possible developments. First, it looks like Sean Strickland will be the backup in the division's two main event matchups, Whittaker vs. Chimaev and Du Plessis vs. Adesanya. Second, Bo Nickal earned a spot in the main card of UFC 300 for a reason. If he wins, he'll get a big fight, and the only available opponent with a name is Sean Strickland," ESPN quoted Sonnen as saying.

Recall, in his last fight, Strickland lost by split decision of judges to Dricus Du Plessis.
