The UFC has found a card to book a middleweight clash that could bring the winner back into the win column.
A matchup between the two middleweight contenders has been re-booked for a UFC Fight Night event on Dec. 17, an initial report by Helen Yee would be confirmed later on that day.
Strickland and Cannonier were originally set to tangle on Oct. 15, however the fight was postponed due to a finger infection suffered by Strickland.
The two veterans are looking to rebound following setbacks at UFC 276 suffered at the hands of the men currently vying for the UFC middleweight title.
Cannonier lost a one-sided decision to UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, while Strickland sustained a brutal first-round knockout loss to former GLORY two-division champion Alex Pereira.
A venue for the Dec. 17 event has yet to be made official. The show marks the final UFC Fight Night event of 2022.
