Aware of great career opportunities, Jared Cannonier uses all the tools to get a second chance at becoming middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) in the UFC. After failing to meet expectations in a message sent to Dana White, the American used his social media to provoke Sean Strickland and highlight victory over the current king of the division.
“If you're a true fan of hand-to-hand combat like me and not into (clown) actors and their theatrics, then you know this is the fight to make. I beat the champion and got two checks to prove it. He wasn't yelling in my face either. Nobody does this to me. The only other middleweight to beat him moved up (a category). He fought him differently than he fought me too. Plus, he himself said he “fought like a bitch”, so here's your chance to redeem your man card, Sean Strickland. Let’s really do the men’s dance”, Cannonier published in his blog post. Instagram.
