According to Daniel Cormier, Sean Strickland didn’t expect to have his way with Israel Adesanya at UFC 293.
Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) scored a massive upset win when he dethroned middleweight champion Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) by unanimous decision in this past Saturday’s UFC 293 headliner at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Strickland knocked Adesanya down late in Round 1, and all three judges scored the fight four rounds to one in his favor.
