Quick read
Robert Whittaker said he wants to share the octagon with Sean Strickland in 2026, adding another potential middleweight matchup to the division’s crowded title picture. The callout matters because both fighters remain credible contenders and a bout between them would help clarify who is closest to another championship run. Whittaker’s comments also keep pressure on matchmakers as they sort out top contenders around the belt. No fight has been officially announced, so this remains a public target rather than a finalized booking.
