As the 2Pac classic suggests ‘Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west’, with Birmingham’s Tom Breese set to face Sean Strickland at UFC 199 on June, 4 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
The fight takes place on the undercard of UFC 199 which features Middleweight title fight Luke Rockhold (c) vs. Chris Weidman II and Bantamweight title Dominick Cruz (c) vs. Urijah Faber III.
Breese (10-0) who trains out of Tristar Gym in Montreal, Quebec, Canada has won all three of his fights in the UFC, most recently taking a decision victory over a very game Keita Nakamura at UFC London in February.
25 year-old Strickland (17-1) is a Cali native and is riding a two fight win streak in the promotion, with wins against Igor Araújo and Alex Garcia. One of Strickland’s most notable wins comes against another Brit, taking a split decision over Luke Barnatt in 2014.
