Sean Strickland, a UFC fighter, has expressed admiration for his training partner Johnny Eblen, stating that Eblen would be a serious contender for the UFC title if he were to join the promotion. Strickland humorously advised the UFC to keep Eblen in the Professional Fighters League (PFL), emphasizing that Eblen's skills make him a potential threat to the entire UFC roster. Eblen, with a professional record of 17-1, is recognized as one of the top fighters outside the UFC. He previously held the Bellator MMA middleweight championship and recently defended his title in the PFL, where he faced a significant upset against Costello van Steenis. However, Eblen rebounded with a first-round submission victory over UFC veteran Bryan Battle last month, further solidifying his reputation as a formidable fighter.
