Henry Cejudo worries that middleweight champion Sean Strickland ’s emotions could cost him at UFC 297. Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) makes his first title defense against Dricus Du Plessis (20-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 297 main event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Strickland, who was brought to tears when reliving his childhood in a recent interview with Theo Von, also threatened to “stab” Du Plessis if he brought up his past again.
