Henry Cejudo
Can Sean Strickland fight? One hundred percent, but will he fight right? Or will he listen to his emotions? I’m at the halfway point where I think I want go for this dude (Du Plessis) because of the emotions going on with Sean Strickland. It seems like his head is in the right place. He has good top control, good ground-and-pound. As much as I want to go for Sean Strickland. I cannot doubt the dude that beat Robert Whittaker.

Strickland, 32, last stepped into the octagon against Israel Adesanya in September 2023 at UFC 293. That fight went the full distance and ended in favor of Sean by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 28 wins and five losses on his record.

Du Plessis, 30, last fought against Robert Whittaker in July 2023 at UFC 290. In that confrontation, Dricus won by technical knockout in the second round. He has 20 wins and two losses on his record.
