Casey O'Neill defends Israel Adesanya after his loss to Sean Strickland

Sean Strickland, notorious for his unfiltered opinions on various subjects, successfully cornered Israel Adesanya by digging up his past in the lead-up to their UFC 293 fight. 'Tarzan' also succeeded in turning the crowd against Adesanya and backed up his pre-fight trash-talk with a dominant performance. He defeated 'The Last Stylebender' via unanimous decision to become the UFC middleweight champion.

interestingly, the fans in the Arena cheered for the American although Adesanya was the local hero. During her appearance on The MMA Hour, Casey O'Neill shared her thoughts on UFC 293:

"I love [Israel Adesanya]. I think he stands for great things. I think he's done great things for the sport. In Australia, there is this weird tall poppy syndrome where people don't want to see people from where they're from do well. They clap at people's demise, which is s***. I've seen it and I've felt it."
