Cannonier (15-6) came up short in his bid to dethrone reigning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya after five rounds of action at the UFC 276 pay-per-view (PPV) last July. Similarly, Strickland (25-4) is looking to rebound from a knockout loss to Brazilian terror Alex Pereira at UFC 276, a first-round finish that booted “Tarzan” from the 185-pound title chase.

Watch them face off in the embedded video above.

In addition to the Cannonier vs. Strickland main event, this weekend’s ESPN+ fight card will also feature the lightweight collision between Arman Tsarukyan and Damir Ismagulov. Elsewhere in the lineup, Tafon Nchukwi battles Jamal Pogues in a light heavyweight matchup, while Sergey Morozov and Journey Newson hook ‘em up at 135 pounds.
