Israel Adesanya predicts a grim fate for Sean Strickland

Israel Adesanya is set to defend his middleweight title at UFC 293 in Sydney. But it won’t be a doddle for the champion, as he has Sean Strickland as his opponent. However, the toughness of Strickland doesn’t seem to bother the psyche of ‘Izzy’, since he tends to overcome any pressure through his confidence. Keeping his confidence in mind, Adesanya yet again explained why he was ready for Strickland.

In a recent interview with Submission Radio, Adesanya seemed to throw jabs at the California native. He bluntly claimed that he was going to knock Strickland out at the Qudos Bank Arena.
