UFC 293 will feature Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland headlining the main event in Australia. No. 1 contender Dricus Du Plessis could not agree on the date due to a foot injury, which helped Strickland land the title shot. However, Sean Strickland has an issue he needs to settle first before he gets to step foot in the octagon.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan revealed on his podcast that middleweight title contender Sean Strickland may have an issue with his Visa. This may hinder his entry into the continent. “I heard that Sean is having Visa problems,” Rogan revealed on his podcast. ” He has to get a Visa to go to Australia.” Sean is one of those people with an eccentric personality. He is famous for his obnoxious yet hilarious commentaries and controversial opinions. ” Well, I don’t know if Australia wants more criminals,” Joe Rogan said.
The road to this matchup was anything but straightforward. After a last-minute change in the fight card, Adesanya, the current UFC middleweight champion, prepares to defend his title against Strickland.
Strickland’s knack for making controversial and unfiltered statements has earned him both criticism from the media and a devoted following within the MMA community. The official announcement of the Adesanya-Strickland bout came just a month prior to the much-anticipated Australia pay-per-view event.

When questioned about the timing of the announcement, Adesanya remained enigmatic, choosing not to reveal the specifics behind the delay. Israel Adesanya downplayed any conjecture, offering his candid assessment of Strickland. Adesanya stated that Strickland lacked sensibility and he needed to conduct himself appropriately and focus on showing up to fight.
Within the confines of the octagon, Strickland has secured victories in seven out of nine bouts since he transitioned from the welterweight division. As he enters this pivotal title match, Sean Strickland rides a wave of momentum, boasting back-to-back wins.

Nevertheless, Du Plessis’ recent foot injury led to the last-minute changes.
While Adesanya remains interested in a showdown with Du Plessis, he stops short of making any promises. This leaves room for potential future matchups. The upcoming clash between Adesanya and Strickland promises to be a defining moment. It is set to shape the trajectory of the UFC middleweight division.
