Blachowicz explains Adesanya's defeat to Strickland

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Blachowicz expressed the opinion that the former title holder is of a lower category Israel Adesanya lost Sean Strickland due to a serious underestimation of the opponent.

Let us remember that on September 10, at the UFC 293 tournament, Strickland sensationally beat Adesanya on points and took away the championship title from him.

“I tweeted that Sean could win. And I turned out to be right. He had nothing to lose. And Adesanya, it seems to me, has created a picture of the world in his head in which he is obliged to go out and defeat Du Plessis. Towards Steerkland, I believe he did not take seriously, and this was his serious mistake.

Strickland went into the Octagon and did what he had to do. While Adesanya, it seems to me, was thinking about anything but Sean,” MMA News quotes the Pole.
