Sean Strickland is not willing to give up his place in the fight for the UFC middleweight belt (up to 83,9gk.). In a post on social media, the American reacted to the possibility of Khamzat Shimaev jump the queue and made it clear that his revenge against Dricus du Plessis is scheduled for early 2025.
With the recent landslide victory of Khamzat Shimaev about Robert whittaker No. UFC 308, the Russian stepped up his calls for a title fight. However, Strickland got straight to the point and took the opportunity to take a swipe at his rival, indicating that the 'Wolf' is not allowed to enter Chechnya.

“I’m next in line. It’s been said. It’s written. In January or February I and Dricus du Plessis “Let’s duel. Go back to Chechnya and wait a few months. Go back to Chechnya and wait a few months. Wait… Sorry, UAE. You are not allowed to enter Chechnya,” Strickland wrote on his official ‘X’ account.
The rivalry between Strickland and du Plessis gained even more notoriety after the fierce dispute between the two in UFC 297, won by split decision by the South African. For Strickland, the rematch is essential to define once and for all who is the best in the category.
