Strickland's complaint:
Former UFC champion Sean Strickland and his middleweight title saga have taken a new turn. Strickland's request for a rematch after losing the belt via split decision in a close fight with Doricus du Plessis appears to be falling on deaf ears by the UFC. Instead, there are rumors that Israel Adesanya is the next candidate for “DDP.” Strickland's reaction? He may turn to boxing and is eyeing a lucrative bout with Jake Paul.
Social media explosion:
Strickland has been vocal about his belief in “X” that a rematch with du Plessis is what the fans and both fighters want. He specifically blames the UFC for unfair treatment, citing his disappointment in the handling of his last fight in Canada, which he feels was an unfair loss.
Boxing Thoughts:
In his silence after the UFC, Strickland hinted at a dramatic career shift. His frustration is clear as he says he doesn't want to move up in the UFC rankings again. In fact, his switch to boxing, as he jokingly suggests he would spend “millions of dollars to beat up Jake Paul,” looks all the more appealing.
Adesanya's camp speaks with confidence.
Meanwhile, Adesanya's coach Eugene Bearman confidently stated that “The Last Stylebender” intends to compete for the title next. Although details of the schedule and opponents remain unclear, the direction is clear and appears to be ignoring Strickland's demands.

Strickland of X: “UFC fans want me and Driskus to fight. Driskus wants to fight. We all know I messed up fighting in a dirty liberal country. Danna. The UFC knows that. Any other fighter[in the UFC]would have booked the rematch! UFC, do the right thing.”
Strickland on considering boxing: “You know I'm never going to be on those damn rankings again…If I can't make it to the UFC, maybe boxing…”

Strickland talks about boxing's Jake Paul: “Maybe I should beat Jake Paul and make millions of dollars instead.''
Eugene Bearman on Adesanya's next fight: “Israel is going to fight for the title next. It's a date that I'm not sure about. Give me the date and I'll get it done. I'm ready. Israel is going to fight for the title. It's not up to du Plessis. If that were the case, I wish Israel, the champions, would have had that option.”
