American fighter Sean Strickland has defeated Nigeria-born UFC fighter Isreal Adesanya to claim the middleweight belt.
The 5th ranked fighter dropped and nearly finished Israel Adesanya late in the first round of their middleweight title fight Sunday in Sydney, Australia, in the main event of UFC 293.
Strickland then went on to score one of the biggest upsets in UFC history by winning a unanimous decision over Adesanya largely by defusing Adesanya’s offense.
