Israel Adesanya takes a jibe at Sean Strickland

Strickland called other boxers who have fully allied themselves with companies "sellouts," emphasizing how he differs from them. Adesanya responded by making fun of Strickland's affiliation with Monster Energy.

He stated, “He told me I’m sell out. When did you (Strickland) sign with monster energy? When did you sell your soul? You signed the deal and sold your soul recently right?"

"Isn’t it funny guys everytime I fight someone Monster immediately signs them immediately and becomes a partner with them. You know why? Because I didn’t sell out. You sold your soul to Monster, what did you do to sell your soul?” He said
