Sean Strickland Advocates for Rematch with Dricus Du Plessis: Insists ‘I Won’
Following a contentious split decision loss to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297, Sean Strickland is making a compelling case for an immediate rematch with the middleweight champion. Despite the defeat, Strickland asserts that he’s the most deserving contender in the division and believes he rightfully earned the victory.
In a recent statement, Strickland emphasized his disappointment with the decision, highlighting UFC CEO Dana White’s own acknowledgment that he believed Strickland won the bout. With support from both White and the fight statistics, Strickland is adamant that a rematch with Du Plessis is necessary to settle the score.
While Strickland’s request for a rematch remains uncertain, the UFC’s recent attempts to arrange a title bout between Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya for UFC 300 suggest that his hopes may be dashed. Despite this setback, Strickland remains resolute in his pursuit of redemption in the octagon.
