Strickland becomes second middleweight to regain UFC title after loss

Sean Strickland has made history by becoming only the second fighter in UFC middleweight division history to reclaim the championship belt after losing it. The first fighter to accomplish this feat was Israel Adesanya. Strickland achieved this milestone by defeating Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328. This accomplishment underscores the rarity of former champions successfully navigating their way back to title contention in one of the UFC's most competitive divisions.
