The 35-year-old American captured the belt by defeating Israel Adesanya by unanimous decision at UFC 284 in July 2023, ending the Nigerian’s long reign. Strickland is known for his aggressive striking, wrestling and durability, and has a record of 34 wins, three losses and one draw, with 24 wins by knockout.
