Reigning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya believes Sean Strickland will employ a wrestling-heavy approach against him at UFC 293. However, 'The Last Stylebender' is confident of his ability to thwart 'Tarzan's' ground game.

During a recent media event, the Nigerian-born Kiwi revealed that he has been busy brushing up his ground game under the tutelage of Australian grappler Craig Jones:

"I think he's going to wrestle, and I've got something g for his a** because me and my buddy Craig Jones has been hanging out a lot... We have been training and I've been doing this a long time and I'm yet to choke a mother f****r out, so that's one thing thats on my list. I hope he wrestles."
