Adam Catterall Updated: 31 May 24 14:58

Sean Strickland v Paulo Costa to go the distance @ 5/4

Strickland shocked the world when beating Israel Adesanya to win the middleweight title, only to be narrowly outpointed by Dricus du Plessis four months later.

Costa, meanwhile, feels like something of an unknown quantity heading into the fight with just two contests at 185lbs in nearly four years, while Costa lost by decision to Robert Whittaker in February this year, beating Luke Rockhold in his previous fight back August 2022.

Five of Strickland's last six wins have been via decision, and Catterall thinks he'll go the distance with Costa on Saturday night.
