Closing the curtain on the promotion’s return ‘Down Under’ this weekend, undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya is trending to do so as a resounding favorite against Sean Strickland – as the pair headline UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia.
Adesanya, a two-time and current undisputed middleweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has so-far enjoyed a promotional perfect run whilst fighting in Australia since landing inside the Octagon, striking undisputed gold for the first time back in 2019 against Robert Whittaker in a trip to Melbourne.
As for Strickland, the outspoken Covina native will feature atop a pay-per-view card for the first time in his lengthy Octagon stay, and competes for organizational spoils for the first time to boot.
