The multi-time PFL tournament winner replied to the UFC athlete’s post, “Apology accepted.” Not only did she accept his apology, but also left an “Awwww. #besties” comment on Strickland’s post. This may suggest she holds no grudge towards the middleweight athlete for his past comments.

The task at hand could prove too much for the volume striker, as his opponent has a profound kickboxing background. Besides, ‘Paotan’ has two wins over the middleweight king, Israel Adesanya, in kickboxing. Thus, beating Pereira in striking could be a difficult deed. However, looking at his momentum, a dominant 6-fight winning streak, Strickland would be confident.

Should ‘Tarzan’ defeat Pereira, he could see himself standing toe-to-toe with the winner of the main event at UFC 276 between Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier.
