Controversy continues to follow Sean Strickland into fight week as his unfiltered comments about performers like Bad Bunny and dismissive remarks about women’s MMA have put him in an even brighter spotlight than his upcoming bout.
Misc.: Strickland has been on the shelf for the past year after he dropped a middleweight title rematch to then-champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 312. He got that shot on the basis of just one win after he dropped the title to DDP in 2024: a split call over Paulo Costa.
The UFC has a new broadcast home, and the MMA promotion makes its debut on Paramount+ on Saturday with UFC 324 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It also kicks off the idea of "free" UFC numbered events, meaning what typically would have been a pay-per-view event now streams free to all Paramount+ subscribers.
