American Sean Strickland stunned Nigerian-born New Zealander Israel Adesanya to take the middleweight title by unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 293 in Sydney, the first UFC event in Australia’s largest city in six years.
After a patient start by both fighters which saw Adesanya probing Strickland’s unusual defensive style, it was the American that found the first telling strike with a clean straight shot that felled Adesanya. Strickland quickly moved in on the 34-year-old New Zealander’s back with a flurry of strikes to close out the first round in the American’s favor.
The final rounds saw Adesanya move more into his shell as the New Zealander struggled to make any imprint on the American’s defense. Strickland sensed the opportunity to go after the champion and a flurry of punches and kicks in the final minute helped ensure the decision and the middleweight title.where the leading government lawmaker was forced to defend his state’s payment of about $10 million
