Sean Strickland wants to see Johnny Eblen in the UFC

Strickland believes Eblen will go on to win the PFL middleweight
title. While it’s hard to decipher when the polarizing champion is
joking around and when he’s serious, Strickland claims he’ll then
take on Eblen for the UFC title.

“This guy’s a savage. This guy’s gonna win the [PFL] belt, go to
the UFC, he’s gonna get one fight, and then we’re gonna fight for
the belt,” Strickland said on Instagram Stories. “I don’t know
who’s gonna f**king win, but we’re gonna f**king fight.”

Eblen suffered his lone professional loss against current PFL
middleweight champion Costello
van Steenis in a huge upset last year. He has since rebounded
with a stoppage win over former UFC fighter Bryan
Battle this past March. Strickland has been speaking very
highly of Eblen for quite some time now, advocating for his UFC
signing.
