Sean Strickland- Robert Whittaker vs Israel Adesanya
UFC Middleweight Sean Strickland is a different persona altogether amongst not just his division but the entire UFC roster. The New Bern, North Carolina native may be made of anything but definitely not fear. From talking about killing fighters inside the Octagon, sharing “needles” with Israel Adesanya, to sharing Chinese money, Strickland can give you the wildest of opinions and interviews you could never imagine out of any other UFC fighter.
But besides this, Strickland is as skilled as a fighter as it comes for any top contender middleweight. His most impressive win comes from his last fight against Uriah Hall where Strickland showed how good of a mixed-martial artist he is for his dedication and will to one day become a world champion.
Sean Strickland on his predicts UFC Champion Israel Adesanya going against Robert Whittaker
In an interview with MMA Junkie correspondent Mike Bohn, Strickland talks about the title contention scenario for his division, whose current title holder is Israel Adesanya. Adesanya is expected to go against the #1 middleweight and the former champion himself Robert Whittaker at UFC 271. But there are certain disagreements on the bout schedule going between Adesanya and UFC President Dana White, which is an altogether different story.
Strickland says that after this fight at UFC 271, if the winner of Derek Brunson vs Jared Cannonier at UFC 270 is Brunson, then Strickland himself deserves the title shot next for whatsoever reasons, but if Cannonier beats Brunson, then Cannonier is next in line for the title shot. Following this in the flow of the conversation, Strickland made his pick for Adesanya vs Whittaker.
“Whittaker ain’t gonna beat Izzy (Adesanya’s short name). No offence Whittaker you’re a f**king savage [pointing at the camera], I am a fan dude, but you ain’t gonna beat him.”
