Even though he was brutally knocked out by Alex Poatán, average weight (up to 83,9kg) Sean Strickland does not believe that the Brazilian will be able to win Israel adesanya. In an interview with 'The Schmo', the North American said that the Brazilian athlete does not have enough 'firepower' to face the champion and bet on another points victory for the Nigerian.

“I think 'Izzy' will beat Alex. I think he'll stay on his feet, move around and beat Alex on points after five rounds. Then we'll all say that 'Izzy' is the best fighter in the world. But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a b***h,” Strickland teased.
Still without an official date or location, the duel between Alex Poatán e Israel adesanya has already been taken for granted by Dana White. Due to the rivalry from kickboxing times, where the Brazilian beat the middleweight champion twice, the duel promises strong emotions for fans of mixed martial arts. At the UFC 276, where the two athletes performed, the provocations reached a level never seen before, and excited Dana White for the confrontation to get off the ground.
