Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Sean Strickland after bloody UFC 312 loss?

(ALSO SEE: Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Dricus Du Plessis after UFC 312 title defense?)

Sean Strickland spent the past 13 months claiming he was “robbed” in his first fight with Dricus Du Plessis and their UFC 312 rematch would be different, but that proved false.

Strickland (29-7 MMA, 16-7 UFC) suffered a unanimous decision loss to Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) on Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, and with a far from impressive performance, is now in a difficult spot in the middleweight division.

Does Strickland have any path back to gold going forward? What makes most sense? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Strickland’s future after his UFC 312 loss.
