Sean Strickland believes he’s found out the key to victory over Israel Adesanya.

Strickland is set to face Uriah Hall in the main event of UFC on ESPN 28 this Saturday, a week earlier than when the pair were originally supposed to meet at UFC 265.

The rising middleweight contender spoke to LowKick MMA’s James Lynch about the matchup. Strickland said that while a win over Hall puts him in a better position in the division, he still has his eyes on the bigger prize.

“Yeah, no doubt man. You beat Uriah, it puts you one or two fights from a title shot,” Strickland said. “I’m stoked, but again, I don’t really give a f— about that. I always like to say Uriah Hall is the off-brand Adesanya. If you can’t beat Uriah, you’re not going to beat Adesanya.”

As for how a fight between Adesanya and himself would play out, Strickland feels that the key is to not get too pretty against the champion. He thinks that the only way to beat Adesanya is to make it a dog fight and put him in positions where he is less comfortable.

“Adesanya, he’s one of the best strikers in the f—ing world, man,” he said. “He’s another guy that its like, you’re not going to go and outpoint Adesanya. You’re not going to go and out strike Adesanya. You have to go out there and f—ing fight him. Same with Uriah Hall. I’m not going to go out there and play tag with Uriah Hall. If I’m going to do that, he’s going to catch me. I’m going to go in there and fight Uriah Hall. I’m going to go in there and fight Adesanya.”

Strickland has been hot since joining the middle ranks in October 2020. He’s reeled off 3 consecutive wins over Jack Marshman, Brendan Allen and Krzysztof Jotko. An impressive win over Hall would surely have him knocking on the door to contendership, and we could find out just how effective his strategy against Adesanya will be.

Sean Strickland doesn’t have many kind words for those who helped make his training incident with Orlando Sanchez viral.

Strickland is set to collide with Uriah Hall in the main event of UFC Vegas 33. The bout will take place on July 31. Strickland considers Hall to be a friend but admits he feels his upcoming opponent was a bit of a “d*ck” during training sessions due to his aggression.

Ahead of the showdown with Hall, a training session between Strickland and BJJ practitioner, Orlando Sanchez went viral. Sean Strickland felt that Sanchez pushed his boundaries by cranking on his arm. Strickland threw a spinning backfist and a front kick to the body in response. Throughout the clip, Sanchez said he felt he wasn’t doing anything malicious.

It appears Strickland and Sanchez have patched things up, but Strickland has some choice words for those who made the video viral. Here’s what he told James Lynch for LowKick MMA.

“I like Orlando but if I knew it would’ve been viral I would’ve kept hitting him. People are f*cking dumb dude and this is just the stupidity of like Tyron Woodley vs. Logan Paul. A video goes viral of me hitting a guy after the bell because he cranked my arm? Have you ever been to a f*cking sparring session? This training camp I’ve knocked out like four people. What the f*ck man? I’ve broke multiple noses, I’ve dropped so many people

“The fact that you people care about a small, insignificant concept, it just goes to show how small and tiny your brains are. And it insults me that I’m not intelligent enough to market off you guys and make money like Logan Paul does.”

Strickland said that if the situation happened again, he would defend himself perhaps even more than before. With that said, he made it clear that he’s cool with Orlando now. He chalks it up to just another day.

Sean Strickland is set to face off against his friend, Uriah Hall, at UFC Vegas 33 on July 31.

Ahead of the eagerly anticipated middleweight main event, Strickland has been reminiscing about his old training sessions with the Ultimate Fighter runner-up.

“I consider Uriah a friend of mine,” Strickland told LowKickMMA. “Not only (did I train with him) at Xtreme Couture but also back in Reign when Mark Munoz was throwing down. I’ve trained with him a lot, he was actually a guy I didn’t really like to train with because he was kind of a f*cking d*ck. The things he threw were so dangerous and he had like no control of it. So, when you spar Uriah, you have to fight Uriah to shut that down.”

Despite having enjoyed a friendly relationship Strickland insists he had no hesitation accepting a fight against ‘Primetime’.

The 30-year-old will enter UFC Vegas 33 with a true understanding of just how dangerous his opponent and just how badly this fight could potentially go for him

“Uriah’s path to success if catching me,” Strickland said. “He’s a very dangerous man and if I fuck up you’re gonna see me waking up on the canvas, that’s a likely possibility.

On the flip side, Strickland has a very clear game plan in mind for fighting Hall.  

“My path to success it like cutting down a tree and I’m a f*cking axe, man. I just gotta keep hitting it over and over again, from round one to round five, just say in his face. And he knows that. Maybe (I’ll) throw in a takedown here and there. He knows that. He’s going to try and catch me and I’m going to try to beat him to death.
