Alright, so, I was scrolling through my phone the other day, just killing time, and I got to thinking, “When’s that Sean Strickland dude fighting again?” I’m a big fan of his, you know, the way he just goes in there and throws down. So, I started digging around to find out.
First, I hit up a few of the usual MMA news sites. You know the ones, they always have the latest scoop on who’s fighting who. I skimmed through a bunch of articles, most of them were just talking about his last fight, which was a total war, by the way.
Trying to Find Some Clues
Then I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, reading comments and stuff. Some folks were saying he’d be back in the octagon early 2025. That seemed to be the general consensus, but nothing was really concrete, it was all just hearsay.
I figured Dana White, you know, the UFC boss, he’d probably dropped some hints somewhere. I watched a few of his interviews and press conferences. He did mention something interesting, though! He was talking about a possible rematch between Strickland and Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title.
Getting Closer
That got me excited! A title fight rematch? That would be epic! He also hinted that the fight might be the next. But there was some talk about it not happening in Africa, which some folks were hoping for. Apparently, there were some logistical issues or something. One report did mention Ontario as a possibility. I don’t know, it all sounded a little up in the air.
I also checked out Sean Strickland’s social media, of course. You can always find some clues there, right? Well, he’s been posting training videos as usual, looking like a beast. But no specific fight announcement yet. He did drop a hint, though. He mentioned something about being back in the cage in Q1 2025, but he had a different idea for where the fight might be.
Putting the Pieces Together
- MMA fans think Sean Strickland will fight in early 2025.
- Dana White mentioned a possible rematch with Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title.
- There are some uncertainties about the location of the fight, but Ontario has been mentioned as an option.
- Sean Strickland hinted at a Q1 2025 return, but wants a different fight location.
So, after all that digging, it looks like Sean Strickland’s next fight is still a bit of a mystery, but it’s shaping up to be a big one, possibly that rematch with du Plessis. Hopefully, it’s early in 2025. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for any official announcements. Until then, we’ll just have to wait and see!
