Let us remind you that today Strickland defeated Adesanya by unanimous decision and became the new middleweight champion.
“There is movement in the division. Congratulations to Strickland, a great comrade in arms. “Can’t wait for the future,” Whittaker tweeted.
It is worth adding that Whittaker is definitely not yet a contender for the fight with Strickland - in his last performance, the Australian was knocked out by Drikus Du Plessis.
