Next fight of Sean Strickland is not determined yet.
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.
"To be honest, I like Costa. Funny guy, humorous. Plus, he's in favor of free speech. He's my kind of guy. But I'm going to bleed that dirty Brazilian. I'm willing to do it for Brazil. They don't like Costa there. Hey, Brazil, this fight is for you!", - wrote Strickland in his social networks.
Recall that the fight Costa - Strickland will take place at the tournament UFC 302, which is scheduled for June 1.
Sean Strickland, former UFC middleweight champion, announced that he has agreed to fight Paulo Costa, a former challenger for the title.
"I met with the UFC and told them I don't want to be rich, I just want to be able to support my family when my career is over. They were understanding and made it happen. Thank you to the fans! Paulo Costa, you got what you wanted! Let's let some blood flow!"," Strickland wrote on his social media accounts.
Earlier, Strickland stated that he was offered too little for a fight with Costa, so he did not agree to the fight.
