LAS VEGAS – Israel Adesanya vs. Jared Cannonier and Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira.
Those are the two matchups at the forefront of the majority of conversations in the lead-up to UFC 276, which takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. All three men will compete on the main card. At a pre-fight news conference Thursday, Sean Strickland reminded those who may have forgotten there is a fourth man in the mix.
Seated behind the champion Adesanya on stage at the event which featured all 10 main card participants, Strickland took a subtle jab at the titleholder when asked who the best striker on stage was. From there, things went off the rails, as Adesanya turned around and clapped back. The two exchanged words, threats, and insults before things settled down the questions from reporters including MMA Junkie resumed.
