Summary

On the heels of Sean Strickland’s stunning performance to beat Israel Adesanya in the UFC 293 main event, The Fighter vs. The Writer looks back at the card and how Strickland was able to pull off such a shocking upset. UFC legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin will discuss Strickland’s performance and how he was able to largely dominate Adesanya over the course of a five round fight. Brown praises Strickland’s win but he also explains why he believes Adesanya should get an immediate rematch if that’s what he wants. This week, we’ll also talk about the upcoming title fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko at Noche UFC. Shevchenko lost her title in a similar upset but can she right the ship when she faces Grasso again on Saturday? Plus we’ll discuss Dillon Danis facing a lawsuit for his online trolling, Tyson Fury saying he could beat Francis Ngannou in an MMA fighting and Brown backing Jake Paul to actually defeat Nate Diaz if they met in the cage.
