Israel Adesanya is making it clear: he wants that rematch with Sean Strickland, and he’s not buying Strickland’s excuses. After all, Adesanya has called the guy out “how many times,” but now Strickland suddenly prefers to dance with former welterweight champ Belal Muhammad instead. Adesanya ’s challenge is straightforward – Strickland beat him once; now man up and do it again.

Their first fight came at UFC 293, where Strickland pulled off a surprise win, snatching the middleweight title from Adesanya. It was the kind of upset that sends shockwaves through the division and fuels plenty of smack talk – and now, a thirsty call for a rematch.
