Israel Adesanya has reacted to his defeat by Sean Strickland who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history defeating the Nigerian to win the middleweight title in Sydney.
The 32-year-old American beat Adesanya at the UFC 293 on Sunday to dethrone the Nigerian, who is one of the sports’ finest.
The match ended in favour of Strickland 49-46.
“I hate losing, but I love living. What a life!” Adesanya tweeted on X.
In a video shared with family members seen by THE WHISTLER, Adesanya showed his bruises, saying “It is not that bad. Nothing broken. We are great baby. I’m still thriving and it is all good. I am driving.
“(I am) hanging out with my family first then I will address the people. Right now, I got to put me first.”
