Former UFC double champion, Conor McGregor, did not ignore the tremendous success of American Sean Strickland, who sensationally defeated Nigerian Israel Adesanya to become the new holder of the UFC middleweight title.
“The ‘sparring only’ method crowned a new UFC middleweight champion,” the Irishman wrote on social media. “Great job Sean! Unfortunately for Izzy. Two skilled professionals, being completely opposite characters, facing off against each other – where else do you see that? What a sport! What a company! UFC is king!”
McGregor also responded to a fan who suggested he should try his luck in a fight with the American middleweight.
“No problem – I’d like that,” the former UFC champion wrote. “Next fight at middleweight!”
As a reminder, the middleweight title fight headlining UFC 293 in Sydney went the full distance and ended with the American winning by unanimous decision with a score of 49-46 three times.
