Well, well, well, if you’re wonderin’ when Sean Strickland is gonna be back in the ring, I got the news for ya. His next fight is comin’ up soon, on January 20, 2024. Yep, mark that date, it’s gonna be a big one! This time, Sean’s gonna defend his middleweight title at UFC 297, and the challenger’s gonna be Dricus Du Plessis. They’ll be throwin’ down in Toronto, Canada, at the Scotiabank Arena.
Now, let me tell ya a bit ’bout this Strickland fella. He’s 28 years old, and let me tell ya, he’s been on a roll. Undefeated in his last few matches, the guy’s a real fighter, no doubt ’bout that. Back in October 2023, he took down Kamaru Usman in a hard-fought battle, and a lot of folks thought Usman was gonna win that one. But nope, Strickland came through, got the majority decision win, and now folks can’t stop talkin’ ’bout him.
But this next fight? It ain’t gonna be no easy walk in the park for Sean. Dricus Du Plessis is no slouch. He’s been climbin’ up the ranks like a cat up a tree, takin’ down whoever’s in his way. He got himself a split decision win over Robert Whittaker, so you know he’s gonna come at Strickland hard. They’re both lookin’ to prove somethin’ in that ring, so trust me, you don’t wanna miss this one.
And don’t get me started on that middleweight division. It’s been lookin’ mighty competitive these days, what with all the new up-and-comers. But Strickland’s the man on top now, and he ain’t ready to give up that title just yet. You can bet that he’ll be comin’ out swingin’ to keep that belt around his waist.
So, make sure you got that date in your calendar—January 20, 2024. UFC 297, Strickland versus Du Plessis. It’s gonna be a show you won’t forget, mark my words.

Now, for those of ya wonderin’ how Strickland’s doin’ financially, well, the man’s makin’ a pretty penny. His base salary’s around $500,000 a fight, but he’s been known to pull in up to $1.5 million when the stakes are high, like his bout with Israel Adesanya. Ain’t too shabby, huh?
So yeah, whether you’re watchin’ for the title defense, the drama, or just love watchin’ two fighters go toe-to-toe, you best tune in on January 20. This one’s gonna be a barnburner, no doubt about it!
