SYDNEY – Sean Strickland won’t be putting more pressure on himself over the reward that would come with a win over Israel Adesanya.
At UFC 293, Strickland gets his first crack at gold in the main event of a pay-per-view. While the moment serves as the biggest platform of his career, Strickland says the UFC middleweight title doesn’t mean much to him. Amid a now-typical vulgar pre-fight media day session, Strickland found space to contextualize his first title opportunity.
“It’s all bullsh*t, man,” Strickland told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s media day. “It’s all f*cking bullsh*t. I’m in it to get a check, and it means so much to me to fight. It means so much to me, but it’s a f*cking piece of metal. I’m in it for the paycheck. I love doing this sh*t.
