UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will return to the octagon this weekend. The New Zealander will take on long-time rival Sean Strickland, in what will be an entertaining fight week and main event. So ahead of the fight, here’s how we think Sean Strickland can beat Israel Adesanya at UFC 293.

Strickland enters the octagon as the big underdog this weekend. The American is a +440 underdog compared to Adesanya, who is a -600 favorite. Therefore, it is clear that the bookmakers are not giving him much of a chance. However, this is MMA and anything can happen.

5 Ways Sean Strickland Can Beat Israel Adesanya at UFC 293

Five Ways Sean Strickland Can Beat Israel Adesanya at UFC 293

5. Fight in the clinch: It is no surprise that Adesanya likes to pick his opponents apart from a distance. However, he is not as comfortable fighting in the clinch. Thus, one way Strickland can beat Adesanya is if he manages to close the distance and land heavily in the clinch.

4. Make it a slugfest: Strickland is fearless in the octagon. He is the type of fighter who is willing to take one hit to land two. Therefore, if he can follow the same principle and make the fight a slugfest, he could land a powerful shot. However, he will have to be aware that Adesanya could also land his own.

3. Counter-attacking: We have seen how well Adesanya can fight on the back foot. His knockout of Alex Pereira showed Adesanya can counter like no one else. And while he is capable in any aspect, we think Strickland, with his unique style, should look to counter Adesanya.

2. Early knockout: Adesanya is dangerous throughout the fight and can win from any position. However, Strickland has to be aware that the New Zealander will punish him every round. Therefore, the earlier Strickland looks to finish the fight, the better for him. Moreover, there is no way Adesanya will lose a decision, given the way he fights. Thus, Strickland has to go for the knockout win at UFC 293.

1. Unconventional: Strickland may be one of the most unconventional fighters in the UFC. The American fighter has a unique stance and a fearless attitude. While this could be his downfall, it could also be the factor that sets him apart from Adesanya. Therefore, we believe Strickland has to make it as unconventional as possible to beat Israel Adesanya.

So there you have it. This is what Sean Strickland can do to beat Israel Adesanya this weekend. What do you make of UFC 293? Do you think Sean Strickland can beat Adesanya?

Although all indications suggest that McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) must first re-enter the USADA testing programme, which necessitates two clean tests spread over six months, before stepping into the cage, he still lists Dec. 16 as the target date for his next bout.

Since The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 31’s premiere broadcast, McGregor has been on-and-off about a fight with Michael Chandler. The fact that the show was on everyone’s mind at the beginning made it very heated, but as the weeks passed, the Irish superstar changed his mind (a few times), and most recently, he wanted to combat the new “BMF.”

The UFC’s president, Dana White, told fight fans earlier this week that McGregor will definitely face Chandler next.
