Less than five days removed from his shocking undisputed championship victory at UFC 293 over the course of last weekend, newly-crowned champion, Sean Strickland has already broken a side panel on the official title belt – strapping the strap together again with some makeshift duct tape.
Strickland, who headlined UFC 293 last Saturday night in Sydney, Australia, turned in one of the most stunning championship upset victories in the history of the organization, landing a totally one-sided unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) victory over two-time champion and defending gold holder, Israel Adesanya.
