UFC commentator Michael Bisping has given his ideas on who Sean Strickland will most likely struggle first when defending his new UFC title.
Final weekend, Sean Strickland shocked the world. He defeated Israel Adesanya through unanimous resolution to seize the UFC middleweight championship. Within the eyes of many, it’s one of many largest upsets in UFC historical past – and that most likely stretches to all of blended martial arts, too. It’s the sort of struggle that may stay lengthy within the reminiscence, however for now, it’s time to stay up for the long run.

Many have mentioned a potential rematch between Strickland and Adesanya. Others, in the meantime, really feel as if a right away rematch isn’t deserved for ‘Stylebender’.
Michael Bisping, in the meantime, has determined to offer his tackle the title dialog.
Bisping’s Strickland prediction
“The truth is, the champ will get to name the pictures,” Bisping mentioned. “The champ does get a say…possibly he needs to struggle Jared [Cannonier] as a result of he needs to get that one again…Israel Adesanya, although, there’s going to be lots of people supporting Israel. He’s gained two of his final three, he’s a workhorse…and Sean Strickland, it offers him the chance to close the door…exhibiting actual balls, stepping as much as the plate as common…Sean Strickland vs. Israel Adesanya 2, that’s most likely what we’re gonna see.”
