Will Strickland ever touch gold again?

[Alpha_T83]

Doubt. He would need to get active, win probably 2 fights, and then beat Khamzat Chimaev.

Even just getting active and winning 2 fights in the top 10 seems unlikely IMO.

 

[Dorkman]

Highly doubt it. The sitting champion seems like a horrendous style match up for him, and Sean is 35 years old in February. His prime is leaving him.

His dismantling of Izzy is still one of my favourite fights of all time. All downhill after that though and I became less of a fan when he would declare war, then point fight like he's doing a light cardio session for 5 rounds and lose a boring decision.

He will beat Khamzat
And usmen will beat islam next year.
