Breaking! Israel Adesanya issues first statement on upset loss To Strickland
Israel Adesanya has won eight UFC title fights, and was the massive favorite heading into UFC 293, but Sean Strickland pulled a rabbit out of the hat and scored a massive upset.
Strickland pressured well and outboxed Adesanya by the fence, winning a pretty wide decision to become the new UFC champion. It was a huge upset that left a lot of fighters watching, and even Strickland himself speechless.
Perhaps the now former champion was as well. After the shocking upset loss, Adesanya didn’t have a post-fight interview in the cage. He also decided not to speak much with the media at the UFC 293 post-fight press conference.
Israel Adesanya issues brief statement on loss to Sean Strickland
Adesanya didn’t stay long at the press conference at all, only issuing a very brief statement.
“Pause. I had a different plan for this, but life throws curved balls at you,” Adesanya said. “Win or lose, I wasn’t going to say much anyway. But right now, I lost tonight to the better man on the night.
I just want to be with the people that care about me, my team, and they’re waiting for me, so I’m going to do that,” he said.
Afterwards, Adesanya quickly left and just handed it over to his coach Eugene Bareman.
“This is our team. This is how we do it. He wants to be protected, that’s our job to protect him,” Bareman said about stepping in to speak to the media on Adesanya’s behalf. “He is in a time of need right now.”
Serie A: Oliseh advises Osimhen to quit Napoli over TikTok video
Former Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh has advised Victor Osimhen to leave Serie A champions Napoli.
Napoli mocked Osimhen in a TikTok video posted earlier this week after he missed a penalty in the 0-0 draw at Bologna.
The forward reacted by deleting all of Napoli’s pictures and videos from his social media handles, with his agent threatening to take legal action against the club.
The 24-year-old snubbed a number of his teammates on his arrival at the team hotel ahead of Napoli’s Serie A clash with Udinese on Wednesday.
Commenting on the issue, Oliseh wrote on his X handle:” Forever proud to be Nigerian; One must show personality, work hard & refuse to be intimidated. let Racists and ingrates talk! That’s why they are eternal losers who secretly wish they were created like you! Osimhen needs to leave Napoli as soon as yesterday!!.“
The forward has scored four goals in six league appearances for Rudi Garcia’s side this season.

‘2 years ago, I gave Ileri N2m to perform at my mother’s annual remembrance concert at Ikorodu, he boy never turned up, so I called him to ask why?, He then said he was not feeling well and when I asked for a refund, he said he lost his phone and money recently when the NDLEA raided his place in the process and since he was leaving Marlian Records, he is now broke, with no commitment to repay, then left, all for me to later hear that this same boy was having a musical video shoot the next door, practically next street to my house, so I went there to ask for my money again, we had an argument that lasted 5mins, even one of his friends insisted he was going pay the money, up till today one kobo they have not paid me, this was early last year. I have since then moved.
I traveled to Kenya to find a new African act that can be performed at my mother’s concert this year. I have been away since August 20!, till now I don’t know anything other than what was written in the blogs and press. I don’t even know where he lives, I only know his former label boss and their house. I don’t know any nurse or doctor or hospital, I don’t know anything about his movement, I don’t have that time, I have lost a lot more money than that before, you win some you lose some.
That is my story case close. I came here willingly and happily. I know nothing about how the musician died ‘”
