What a kick ass sport!  Pun intended.  I sure wasn't expecting that!  Adesanya was a -650 favorite and I that saw some poor rich fool bet $220,000 on him!  Strickland was composed, and fought both elusively and aggressively.  He kept Adesanya back on his heels and out of rhythm through most of the fight.  A fun one to behold, and the UFC World Middleweight Championship is deservedly back home in the USA.

I just saw and I couldn't believe it.

I think that Sean deserves it, he is crazy but he is authentic.

Of course, as a fan of Alex 'Poatan' Pereira, I see it as poetic that he helped Sean to prepare for his match agains Izzy.

I liked how Sean was egging Izzy on in the final seconds of the fight.  He was definitely in fight mode!
