Sean Strickland is one of the most pronounced characters in combat sports and that is why he splits the fan base.
On Saturday at UFC 312, Sean Strickland will take on Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title in a rematch of their first meeting last January.
Strickland has consistently received criticism from the UFC fan base, not only because of its extremely controversial opinions, but because of its passive fighting style.
In anticipation of their main event in Sydney, Du Plessis and Strickland apparently still have bad blood, but the challenger has claimed that it is quieter than their first meeting.

Sean Strickland claims that a rematch was needed with Dricus du Plessis
After their first meeting at UFC 297, Strickland complained that he was 'robbed' by the Canadian judges and still talks about the split decision to this day.
