UFC 293 will feature the return of middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who will face a new challenger in Sean Strickland
Adesanya, with a record of 24 wins and two losses, is gearing up to compete against Strickland who has a track record of 27 wins and five losses as he looks to defend the middleweight title for a seventh time.
He impressed with a second-round knockout win over Alex Pereira at UFC 287 in Miami on April 8 and will be looking to produce a similar performance against Strickland on Saturday night.
Strickland has lost two of his last four fights, the first came via knockout to Pereira at UFC 276 in July 2022 and a split-decision loss to Jared Cannonier at UFC Fight Night 216 in December 2022.
However, Strickland is currently on a two-fight winning streak. He beat Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Fight Night 217 in January and Abusupiyan Magomedov at UFC on ESPN in July.
The co-main event will see Australia's Tai Tuivasa, coming off consecutive knockout losses to Sergei Pavlovich and Ciryl Gane, take on former Bellator champion and fellow heavyweight contender Alexander Volkov in his home country.
