UFC: Israel Adesanya defeated, gives up middleweight title to Strickland

Must read

Sean Strickland won the biggest fight of his career on Saturday after he defeated Israel Adesanya to win the middleweight title in Sydney, Australia.

The 32-year-old achieved this with solid defence and clinical output at UFC 293.

The American became victorious over Adesanya with 49-46 on all three scorecards.

As early as the first round, Strickland dropped the Nigerian-New Zealander with a picture-perfect right cross.

The punch sent Adesanya spinning to the canvas before seeking a finish.

Strickland could not quite find the knockout blow, however, as Adesanya survived to the buzzer.

Strickland always seemed to be a step ahead of Adesanya as the fight came to a close. He congratulated the over-joyed Strickland.
