The middleweight champion of the UFC, Israel Adesanya, described in an interview how he would respond if Sean Strickland talked to him in the octagon during their fight.
The UFC superstar, who was born in Nigeria, vowed to break Sean's jaw if he made any mistakes of talking in the octagon.
At UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia, on September 10, Adesanya and Strickland will square off.
Israel Adesanya to break Sean Strickland's jaw
Speaking on his official YouTube channel Adesanya explained his mindset.
Adesanya said, "Just some loudmouth talking over and louder than YouTube, trying to seem like he's got something to say.
"He has nothing to say really... I know the guy, I've seen him, I've pressed him before...so it's for show.
"If he's talking to me, he's gonna get his jaw broken.
At UFC Vegas 76 in July 2023, Strickland, 32, knocked out Abusupiyan Magomedov in the second round.
He fills in for South African Dricus Du Plessis and has a record of 27 victories and five defeats.
Adesanya, who is 34, last competed in April 2023 at UFC 287, winning by second-round knockout over Alex Pereira.
Adesanya has a record of 24 wins and 2 losses in the UFC and is the favorite to retain his title.
