The UFC is making its return to Sydney, Australia this Saturday for UFC 293. The main event features middleweight champion Israel Adesanya defending his title against Sean Strickland. Adesanya recently recaptured the belt with a knockout victory over Alex Pereira in April.
Adesanya has dominated the middleweight division with wins over top contenders like Robert Whittaker, Marvin Vettori, Jared Cannonier, and Paulo Costa. However, he faces a tough challenge in Strickland, who is ranked No. 6 and is coming off back-to-back wins against Abus Magomedov and Nassourdine Imavov.
