Strickland's Success Last Saturday

Story by Caden Dotson

On Saturday night, Israel Adesanya now (24-2) and Sean Strickland now (28-5) fought.The fight was balanced in the middle rounds and Adesanya pushed to the end, but Strickland did enough to earn a unanimous victory on points, with all three judges scoring 49-46 in his favor. The champion had never really laid a solid hand on Strickland as the American's defense held strong throughout the fight. Adesanya fought a little more passive than he normally does and also got shut down by Strickland's defense. Strickland surprised the whole world on Saturday with the win over Adesanya and will continue to try and prove everybody wrong.
