Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has offered commentary on his upcoming bout with former belt challenger Paulo Costa, which takes place on the night of June 2 at UFC 302 in Newark, S.C.

"I don't know how much secret juice Costa has left, but he's going to have to be incredibly lucky to beat me. I'll get his face in the dirt, but don't let him worry: like Adesanya I'm not going to smack him around. But I like Paulo, we'll bleed for the fans," Strickland said at the press conference.

Recall that the UFC 302 show will be headlined by a lightweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Puryear.
