Especially, the unexpected turn of events at UFC 290 may have disrupted Strickland’s plans.

After the intense showdown between African fighter Dricus du Plessis and former champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 290, the reigning middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, made an unexpected appearance in the octagon. A fiery clash of slurs and bold remarks ensued between the ‘Stylebender’ and ‘Stillknocks,’ leaving Strickland quizzing Adesanya’s actions.

In an exclusive interview with renowned UFC commentator Joe Rogan, Strickland shed light on his intriguing plan for a potential fight against Adesanya. Strickland didn’t hold back in ridiculing Adesanya for his recent verbal onslaught at the UFC 290 event. With an audacious twist, Strickland unveiled his intentions to present Adesanya with a Chinese flag emblazoned with the word “Sl*t” during the weigh-in.

Moreover, Strickland revealed, “If I ever fight Izzy – I’m gonna go get a Chinese flag that says ‘Sl*t’ on it and I’ll bring it to the weigh-in for you guys.” The bold remark exposes Strickland’s unapologetic approach and his determination to get under the ‘Stylebender’s skin.
