BLUF: Middleweight champion Sean Strickland posted on X on Oct 7 that he’s “kinda over it” with UFC pay.
- He said he’s thinking about vacating the 185-pound belt, moving to 205 to fight out his contract, and boxing Jake Paul. Paul replied asking whether he’s out of contract.
- Talks for a title defense against Nassourdine Imavov had stalled over purse.
Nothing is booked. Talk is cheap until there’s a signed bout agreement.
