"Sean Strickland says he probably should have said "No" to fighting Dricus Du Plessis "I'm my own man. The UFC doesnt control any of us but I probably should have said no to that. I wasnt healthy for it. But you get pulled into the big guys office and they say If you dont say yes somebody else will and youll be put on the back burner. So you just say yes and hope things pan out." (Via @espnmma ) https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022198479595180263 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022198479595180263"
