The former middleweight champion has been out of action since his last fight against Paulo Costa, where he secured a split-decision victory at UFC 302. Since then, he has been waiting for a rematch with the reigning middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis.

Khamzat Chimaev has also inserted himself into the title shot conversation after his spectacular first-round submission victory over former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 308. Now, it's unclear whether 'Borz' or Strickland will get the title fight against 'Stillknocks'. However, rumors are circulating that the 33-year-old is booked for the title shot at UFC 312.
