SYDNEY – Israel Adesanya didn’t have much to say after his UFC 293 loss.
After a circumvention of the typical in-cage interview Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena following his loss to Sean Strickland (28-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC), Adesanya (24-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) questions from reporters at a post-fight news conference after a brief address.
“Pause. I had a different plan for this. But life throws curve balls at you,” Adesanya told MMA Junkie and other reporters. “… Win or lose, I wasn’t going to say much anyway. But right now, I lost tonight to the better man on the night. I just want to go be with people who care about me: my team. They’re waiting for me, so I’m going to do that.
