Strickland rides dirt bikes with Eblen two weeks before UFC 328 title fight

Sean Strickland and Bellator champion Johnny Eblen went dirt bike riding together just two weeks before Strickland's scheduled championship bout against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328. According to Strickland, after completing a five-round sparring session, he suggested they go ride motocross bikes. Eblen had never ridden a dirt bike before but agreed to join him. Strickland expressed respect for Eblen's willingness to try something new and risky so close to both fighters' title fights.
