It's three days after UFC 293, and it's still very real that Sean Strickland dominated Israel Adesanya in the main event of Saturday's pay-per-view in Sydney and is the undisputed UFC middleweight champion of the world. It's officially one of the most chaotic times in UFC history, which only makes things all that more interesting. On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck continues to react to Strickland's stunning title win over Adesanya, and what this all means for the division. Additionally, listener questions include if Adesanya will get an immediate rematch — and a case being made why that should not happen next — where Adesanya goes from Saturday night either way, who will be next for Strickland and why timing plays an important factor in the answer to that question, Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2 this Saturday in the main event of Noche UFC, and much more. You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

On the heels of Sean Strickland’s stunning performance to beat Israel Adesanya in the UFC 293 main event, The Fighter vs. The Writer looks back at the card and how Strickland was able to pull off such a shocking upset. UFC legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin will discuss Strickland’s performance and how he was able to largely dominate Adesanya over the course of a five round fight.
