One of the UFC's most talked-about fighters is making a comeback in the headline bout of Saturday's UFC 297 card. In this highly anticipated matchup, Sean Strickland will defend his middleweight championship for the first time against the formidable challenger, Dricus du Plessis.
Strickland has been a polarizing figure within the MMA community, stirring controversy with his comments and signaling a shift in the UFC's approach to combining politics and sports. His ascent to the championship was marked by a significant upset over Israel Adesanya in a fight that materialized due to du Plessis being unable to face Adesanya when the opportunity arose. Now, facing du Plessis, Strickland encounters another fighter who climbed to the top of the division by causing an upset, notably defeating Robert Whittaker in his most recent appearance.
