Adesanya raised Strickland’s hand 🤝 #UFC293

[youtubesurfin]

Always great to see fighters being respectful towards each other regardless of the end result 👍🏆

[tornadoJoe]

New Champion of The World..what a fighter he is 👊🏼

[zacky]

This does feel like a dream. What an alternate universe this is! 😂

[tomking]

That’s what a true sportsman should do. You can’t win them all and if you lose that day, you show your opponent respect like Izzy did. That’s respect!!!

[noahbarfield]

Big respect to Izzy for staying humble in defeat and showing respect to Sean. Not sure if he had an off night but Sean looked incredible either way. Excited to see what’s next

[GnnggLAnd]

Sean is a fkn G
Izzy raises his hand implying he is the champion & Sean feels bad so bends over out of sheer appreciation. Respects to Izzy to for lifting him back up tho but Sean still pointed at him what an epic moment of true masculinity

[haideebusayomi]

I admire Strickland, just known him and I love his humility after beating Izzy, still giving him the respect too... That’s true sportsmanship

[chuntelguillory]

Class Act by Izzy, Strickland was about to bow his head in respect Izzy raised him very classy

[KLIPSE]

Strickland was able to earn Izzy’s respect, he was the better fighter on the night.
I think Izzy lifting him up from Bowing was respectable more so than raising his hand

Great card

I also believe that the judges deserve a performance bonus for this judging, it's rare to get honest scorecards these days

[combatcritique]

NO MAN WHO BEATS OFF TO CARTOONS IS GONNA BEAT ME

[faithcomedy]

It takes a true warrior not to be a sore loser

[houstontx]

The fact that Sean puts his head down and Izzy lifts him. Is just great. What a sport.

[kosdkaskets]

Bro I wished boxing was the same, they be scared to fight the Greats, let alone a great raising an underdog hands🔥🔥🔥🔥

[markstelle]

Love that izzy was gracious in defeat and that Sean then bowed. Wholesome

[breezy]

Respect them both Sean humbled himself and Izzy gave Sean the respect due from former champ to champ

[vvekmathew]

we're in the best timeline, guys!

[maiestas]

For a guy who was never appreciated as a kid and as a man like Sean himself, that gesture of respect by izzy made sean overflow with gratitude (or something). You could tell.

[mitch]

Izzy begged him not to talk about dogs in his postfight speech.

[willmckenna]

You know! Hats off to both of those Warriors! Absolutely incredible! I can see them doing stuff down the road and getting along the same way other foes have done in the past.
