Sean Strickland recently finished Abus Magomedov at UFC on ESPN 47 in a remarkable victory. But the unhinged UFC fighter is already aiming for a much bigger fight. After securing a dominant second-round TKO, Strickland wasted no time. He immediately expressed his desire to face middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. Strickland referred to him as the “first and only Chinese champion.”
Although Strickland’s callout can be viewed as brazen, he does have a strong case for a title fight. He wants to face Adesanya, who is considered one of the best middleweights in UFC history. But several fans and the MMA community are skeptical about his prospects. However, Strickland doesn’t seem intimidated by the task. He claims to be prepared to face any foe in order to prove that he is a championship contender.
Of course, Adesanya’s next opponent’s name is still unknown, and other well-known middleweight fighters might potentially battle for the championship. For instance, Robert Whittaker is scheduled to compete against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290 next week. A strong win for either fighter may potentially lead to a rematch with Adesanya.
Sean Strickland is willing to take the stage and compete against the greatest in the world, regardless of who eventually gets the chance to confront Adesanya. Strickland’s will to leave a lasting impression on the world stage is unwavering, despite the uncertainty surrounding the possibility of taking on Adesanya personally.
