A Brazilian promise in the under-83,9kg category, Alex is enjoying a great moment in his career. After being successful in his two initial commitments with the company, the athlete will measure up against a top 5 team and will be able to officially reach the division's elite.
Responsible for trying to ruin Poatan's party in the company, Strickland also comes from a positive track record in the company. Current number five in the group, the North American has accumulated six positive results in a row.
Executioner of Israel adesanya twice during his kickboxing days, Alex may have the opportunity to revive his rivalry with the Nigerian within MMA. Today, 'Izzy' is middleweight champion and has had a reign of almost three years.
