Israel Adesanya fires back at Sean Strickland amid viral training clips

A bizarre training clip of Sean Strickland has taken fans by surprise. In this video, ‘Tarzan’ is spotted indulging in a light sparring session with former UFC Middleweight champ Alex Pereira.

In this clip, ‘Tarzan’ is seen engaging in an aggressive sparring session, culminating in him knocking down his partner. The intensity of this exchange runs counter to the usual approach of keeping sparring sessions controlled and respectful.

‘Izzy’ minced no words in his response. Posting the video on ‘X,’ he dubbed Strickland “insecure” and derided the notion that such high-intensity sparring holds value. He wrote, “Imagine doing this and thinking ‘Yea, good work today.’ Useless insecure wasteman.”

However, Israel Adesanya didn’t stop there—he shared the same video on his Instagram story, underscoring his perspective. “I ain’t never been a gym hero… Can’t wait for sparring tomorrow,” ‘Izzy’ wrote, in a tone laced with sarcasm.
