UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya expectedly opened as the unconditional favorite of the duel with Sean Strickland, which is expected to take place on September 9 at UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia.
Thus, the leading bookmakers offer to bet on the victory of the New Zealand Nigerian with an extremely modest odds of 1.36, while the same indicator for a possible sensation in the performance of the American is 4.00.
Recall that the other day, several informed sources reported on the announcement of the fight, but there has been no official confirmation from the promotion yet.
It should be noted that it was originally planned that Adesanya in the upcoming tournament would meet with Dricus Du Plessis, who knocked out Robert Whittaker in a candidate fight. However, later the South African announced that due to injury he would not be able to fight for the second fight in two months.
