Middleweight contender Sean Strickland thinks it’s only fair the UFC gives him a title shot based on stopping prospects like Abus Nurmagomedov and Nassourdine Imavov.

“Fuck, man. It needs to happen, you guys,” Strickland said at the post-fight at the post-fight presser. “We know Izzy is on fucking repeat, dude. They try to bring Abus (in). This is what the UFC said, ‘Man, the middleweight division is stagnant. Let’s get Abus in here. He might beat Sean.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah right, mother fucker. Wait until you see what happens.”

”Every time they’ve tried to bring new blood, (like) the Frenchie I fought before, I sent him home. This guy, I sent him back. Every time they try to bring new blood in, I send them back. Give me the fucking title. I earned it.”

Sean Strickland: ”I’ve fucking paid my dues”

Sean Strickland has back-to-back wins after losing to Jared Cannonier in December. He’s also one of the few in the middleweight top that hasn’t already fought champion Israel Adesanya.

“I fought the other guy they were trying to (push), their last phenom that they were trying to (push). I took that guy on three-day fucking notice. I took him on in a five-round war and won every fucking round. I paid my dues. I’ve fucking paid my dues. Give me that shit.”
