In typical Sean Strickland style, the UFC Middleweight Champion was unapologetically saying whatever came to his head at the press conference. However, one interesting tidbit of information was his preview of his matchup this weekend.

I think this fight is going to be a harder fight than Izzy. Dricus likes to fight. Is he the best? No. But he goes in there and fucking fights to win.
- Sean Strickland

Despite a shakey leadup to the fight, Strickland is giving Dricus du Plessis props and notes he's going to be a tough fight.
