The highly anticipated UFC event 292 is on the horizon. Being the center of attention for the middleweight bout between Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland, Sydney will surely be on fire with such intense rivals. Shooting salvos at one another has been an integral part of this rivalry. In fact, Adesanya’s claims about his nails considering a knockout victory against Strickland raised the anticipation even more. He claimed that he would have a fresh set of French-tipped fingernails if he knocked his forthcoming opponent out.

Amidst the fiery exchange of words, he had something scintillating on display ahead of his approaching main event bout against Strickland. For a guy aptly nicknamed ‘stylebender’, getting Gold Casings seem to be the perfect fit.

Having less than 10 days left for his next fight, ‘Tarzan’ surely can’t afford to take Adesanya lightly. Why? Because of Adesanya’s display of dominance against his previous victims. Considering the same, Strickland seems focused, while the fans are skeptical about his chances. He recently revealed what he was focusing on, having the title shot around the corner.

He said, “I’ve been wrestling a lot in camp but sometimes you know, you get up there you look at another man and I think to myself, I want to f*cking stand and bang with this guy. So I probably should wrestle but that’s probably not going to happen. It’s not going to happen. But I should wrestle, I’ve been planning to wrestle.”
