Sean Strickland’s girlfriend makes rare appearance in UFC 293 video preview

That Sean Strickland is fighting for the title this Sunday is a result of a series of fortunate events. Adesanya was originally slated to fight #1 ranked middleweight Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 293. Their simmering feud reached a climax at their hostile face-off following DDP’s victory Robert Whittaker at UFC 290 earlier this year. And the #6 Strickland, too, had been feuding with Adesanya. This is mainly why Adesanya pushed the UFC, who according to ‘Izzy’ were initially reluctant, for Strickland to replace the South African.

It is, without a doubt, the most consequential fight in his career to date. And, for the first time in his career, he is bringing his better half to one of his fights for moral support. And he might need all the support he can get. Most expect Adesanya to beat the middleweight, and the champ himself has stated he doesn’t think ‘Tarzan’ is much of a problem.
