Dana White weighs in on Sean Strickland's title fight win

Sean Strickland shocked the world when he defeated Israel Adesanya via unanimous decision at UFC 293 to capture the middleweight title. UFC President Dana White seemingly took a shot at Dricus du Plessis, who turned down a title fight, while praising 'Tarzan's performance.

Speaking at the post-fight press conference, the promotional frontman stated:

"He came in to hostile territory, the whole world talking s**t about him. The whole world saying he couldn't do it. A 7/1 underdog, came in, almost finished him in the first round and won the championship, won the world title."

White continued:

"Everything that we're talking about right now about how crazy this sport is, when opportunities arise, you jump on them and you take them. You should never turn down fights when you get the call, especially if it's for a world title."
