Dricus Du Plessis thinks he has a good idea what the UFC will do with Sean Strickland after he fell short in their rematch.
Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) failed to recapture the middleweight title from Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) on Saturday with a unanimous decision loss in the UFC 312 main event. The result pushes him far away from the title picture, and that means matchmaking gets trickier.
Du Plessis thinks the next move for Strickland is a no-brainer, and it has to be a rematch with fellow former champ Israel Adesanya, who also had his place as a contender diminished with a second-round knockout loss to Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Fight Night 250.
