Following Israel Adesanya’s shocking loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 293, Dana White suggested that an immediate rematch is the way to go.
Emanating from the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, fight fans were treated to an exciting night of scraps, but by the time the evening was over, all anybody could talk about was Strickland’s dominant performance against ‘The Last Stylebender’ to claim the middleweight world title. Once the reality of the situation set in, everyone’s attention quickly turned to what would be next for both Strickland and Adesanya.
Addressing members of the media, UFC President Dana White suggested that an immediate rematch is what makes the most sense to him, but it will ultimately come down to what Adesanya wants to do.
