Fight Outlook: Strickland enters as the favorite due to his impressive run in the middleweight division and improved striking.

Expect Strickland to maintain pressure and look for striking opportunities while defending against takedown attempts.

The winner will likely see significant movement up the middleweight rankings, making this a crucial bout for both fighters' title aspirations.
