Sean Strickland has his target on Belal Muhammad for his next fight while he wants to come back in the position of the middleweight.
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland suffered his second loss in a row to Dricus du Plessis when they rematch on UFC 312 earlier this year.
Since then, Strickland has continued to cause controversy in the UFC world after he had beaten another social media influencer in a brutal sparring session and received widespread criticism.
After his failed Rematch against 'Still Knocks', Strickland Bizary started a feud with his coach, Eric Nicksick, and hinted that he would remove Nicksick from his corner.

Sean Strickland calls Belal Muhammad after UFC 315 loss
Last Saturday the short wellweight title of Belal Muhammad came to an end when he was dethroned by Jack della Maddalena.
Prior to that fight, 'Remember the name' had a potential future switch to the middleweight division to compete for a different title.
It was recently announced by UFC boss Dana White that Du Plessis will defend his title against Khamzat Chimaev on UFC 319.
Strickland and Muhammad went back and forth earlier, and Strickland believes that it is now a perfect time for them to finally arrange their feud in the cage.
“I mean, Belal would be a nice fight, that would be a nice one,” Strickland told Helen Yee.
“Belal, you should finally dismiss, dog. This is it, you can finally the f – up, guy, all that you have stacked – you have spoken, we can finally let it happen.
“You have lost your belt, you have a little f–I have had f- We must let that fight happen, Belal. That would be a good one, right? You can come to the middle weight. He said he would (come to the middle weight).
Sean Strickland reveals its current weight
Although he stays in the training all year round, Strickland visibly looks bigger than he has ever looked before, and enjoying the fact that he has not yet had a fight on the horizon.
And with that Strickland revealed that he currently weighs 230 pounds and admits that he is 'a little fat'. That would be the type of weight where a slightly heavyweight would run around to reduce to 205 pounds.
With 45 pounds to cut before he gets back in the Octagon on the middleweight, Strickland has different options to choose from.
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya recently revealed that he wants to rematch Strickland, after he has lost his title to him in a shocking way.
