Israel Adesanya addresses Sean Strickland's trash talk

As the highly anticipated showdown between Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland at UFC 293 draws near, the verbal jabs and lack of respect from Strickland have not gone unnoticed. Adesanya, often referred to as 'The Last Stylebender,' shed some light on Strickland's antics during an interview with Niko Pajarillo.

Adesanya was asked to comment on the stark lack of respect displayed by his upcoming opponent. In his characteristic composed manner, he responded:

"On camera he's not, but behind the scenes he is. I mean, I put the receipts up, didn't I? When I smacked him on the ass, and also the other ones as well that aren't on camera. And he is respectful because he knows what I can do to him. But in front of the camera, when there's security around and the fans, he likes to act a fool because he's insecure in his own head."

Check out Israel Adesanya's comments below:

With both fighters set to collide for the middleweight title, the tension and mind games leading up to the bout have intensified. Fans can expect an electrifying showdown when Adesanya and Strickland finally step into the Octagon this weekend.
