âWhat was interesting was that the first two times I saw him fight on Fight Island, he used to talk about his stand-up and his team all the time,â White said. âSo, I was saying we havenât seen his stand-up and really go toe-to-toe with someone in a while. But I think he had a rough weight cut.â
As for whatâs next, White avoided giving a direct answer regarding Stricklandâs first title defense. However, later in the press conference, he hinted that UFC Paris could potentially land a championship fight due to how hot the French market currently is for the promotion.
That naturally raises the question:
Strickland vs. Nassourdine Imavov 2? Or rematch?
