JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Don’t expect Sean Strickland to pursue bare-knuckle boxing after MMA.
Strickland (28-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) takes on Paulo Costa (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 302 (pay-per-view/ESPN2/ESPN+) co-headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Strickland still has a few years left in the octagon, but when asked if he has an exit plan, the former UFC middleweight champion said he won’t consider bare-knuckle boxing like many other fighters have.
