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 a five-round sparring war, he suggested they go ride cross bikes. Eblen had never ridden a dirt bike before, which Strickland found amusing. Strickland expressed respect for Eblen's willingness and attitude despite the unconventional pre-fight preparation. Both fighters are preparing for their respective title fights.
