Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya had some of the most entertaining back-and-forths in the lead-up to their fight. Strickland, who is fond of talking to his opponent during fights, was able to prevail over ‘Izzy’ to become the new UFC middleweight champion of the world.

And Adesanya, who cannot stand Strickland, either, had promised to break the American’s jaw if the American trash-talked him during their fights. But, in one of the best cases of trash talk gone right, not only was Strickland able to beat the Kiwi in a shock upset, but also sledged him during the fight.

Sean Strickland reveals what he said to Israel Adesanya during their fight

In the post-fight press conference, a reporter asked Sean Strickland what he said to Adesanya at the end of their fight. Strickland revealed he called him a “Chinaman”, which is one of his favorite insults to throw at the former middleweight champion. He said that while he did not want to make fun of ‘Izzy’ as the Kiwi is a legend, him coming out in the Chinese flag puzzled Sean and made him call Adesanya out.

“I just, I think I just called him a Chinaman. I said ‘come on Chinaman let’s fight’. You know that’s what he is, right? The Chinaman and here’s the thing guys, Izzy’s a f**ing legend and I don’t like to make fun of him because he is a f**ing legend. But I mean he f***ing came out, with, like the Chinese colors, dude. The f**ing Chinese colors, man, like what the f*** are you thinking? What is the logic coming out like to f**ing, the CCP Communist f***ing Party, bro,” he said.

Who will Sean Strickland fight next?

UFC boss Dana White has come out expressing he would like to have an immediate rematch between the two. Adesanya’s coach, Eugene Bareman, too has said that he would like to have a rematch between the two “next week”.

However, it is not clear who the American will fight next as #1 ranked middleweight Dricus Du Plessis, who was originally supposed to face Adesanya, but pulled out due to a shoulder injury, is also a real serious contender for his next opponent.
