Let us remember that on September 10, Strickland confidently defeated Adesanya by unanimous decision and won the middleweight title.
“Everyone understands that Adesanya is a special striker, the only one in a generation. He makes you think of Anderson Silva, of fighters who have the ability to write their own music, but this guy turned it off and did it in the simplest way possible.
Strickland set the table for himself with the jab and fed off his straight right all evening. This was his attack, very simple but effective. What about protection? Just get out of striking range, but only enough to make your opponent miss, and then respond yourself. And the best thing is that he was consistent. There was no music, everything was quiet,” Atlas said in the latest release of the author’s YouTube channel.
