Israel Adesanya promises to break Sean Strickland’s jaw if he talks mid-fight 

Within a few hours, the MMA community will witness an epic battle between middleweights Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland at UFC 293.

Before the bout, the UFC middleweight kingpin predicted that he would knock out Strickland and would break his jaw if he talked in the middle of the fight. ‘Stylebender’ said to TMZ Sports, “I do wanna shut him up and I’m gonna shut him up. I’m gonna break his jaw if he keeps talkin’ to me while he’s in there.” Many indeed believe that the Nigerian-born fighter is going to win the bout, as he has become the UFC middleweight champion twice. Whereas it’s the very first title shot of ‘Tarzan.’
