Israel Adesanya shows off UFC 293 injuries in nonchalant video after losing title to Sean Strickland

Israel Adesanya took to Twitter to show off his injuries following his loss at UFC 293.

Adesanya returned to the octagon last night against Sean Strickland to mark the first title defense of his second reign. However, the fight did not go to plan and despite being a massive favorite, 'The Last Stylebender' was outclassed by Strickland.

Sean Strickland's constant pressure seemingly threw Israel Adesanya off his game as he struggled to find his feet during the fight. As a result, 'Tarzan' managed to win the fight via unanimous decision and become the new UFC middleweight champion.

While many would expect the former UFC middleweight champion to be devastated following the loss, Adesanya kept it nonchalant as he took to Twitter to show off his injuries from the fight. He had this to say in the video:

"Still thriving, it's all good. I hate losing but I love living and I'm thriving. So, yeah."
