Both Cannonier and Strickland look to get back on track after suffering losses at July’s UFC 276 event. Cannonier was on the wrong end of a dominant unanimous decision against then-champion Israel Adesanya in the main event, while Strickland was viciously knocked out by Alex Pereira, who went on to defeat Adesanya earlier this month to become the new 185-pound champion.
