Sean Strickland's UFC 335 Middleweight Title Bout Fell Through

UFC 335 is scheduled for December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, featuring a BMF title bout between Charles Oliveira and Diego Lopes. Reports indicate this matchup replaced a planned middleweight title fight between Sean Strickland and Nassourdine Imavov, which failed to materialize despite extensive discussions.

Sources report that Strickland remained available and healthy for the event, having suffered no injuries from a recent ATV rollover accident. While the fighter noted on social media that a bout with Imavov was in development, negotiations stalled over financial terms. When asked by a follower if he was holding out for more money, Strickland confirmed the assessment.
