Sean Strickland has been on a tear inside the octagon since returning in October 2020 from a career-threatening motorcycle accident. Now riding a five-fight winning streak, the 30-year-old is positioned for his second consecutive headlining spot.

UFC 268 in November was originally slated to be Strickland’s first crack at a former UFC champion as he was matched with Luke Rockhold. Unfortunately, Rockhold was forced out of the bout due to injury thus leaving Strickland destined for a date with Jack Hermansson on Feb. 5.

Among the recent names to fall in Strickland’s wake include the likes of Uriah Hall, Krzysztof Jotko, and Brendan Allen.
