Current UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland replied to his recent opponent Israel Adesanya, who recently stated that Shawn would lose to Dricus Du Plessis.
“Adesanya is a real loser. I could have kicked his ass on the ground, but I decided to fight on my feet. And what did he do the whole fight? So, Izzy, shut your mouth,” Strickland said at a press conference ahead of UFC 297.
Let us remember that Strickland won against Adesanya by decision, taking away the championship belt from him.
