Just want to give a big thanks to everyone who watched the fight and allowed me to be here. I am beyond greatful… To my coaches and training partners I wouldn’t be here without you guys grinding it out in the gym with me everyday. Onto the next!!

With the win over Jotko, Strickland has fully established himself as a top-15 middleweight and he seems destined for a fight against a top-10 opponent in his next outing. Just looking at the UFC rankings, fighters in the top-10 who are currently without opponents include Uriah Hall, Derek Brunson, and Jared Cannonier, to name just a few. Any of those names could be potential opponents for Strickland he looks to continue making his way up the UFC middleweight ladder. He is a very talented fighter as we have seen time and time again inside the Octagon and beating someone like Jotko is a big win for his resume. It’s time now that Strickland got a step up and we get to see what he’s really made out of.
