It’s a rumble “Down Under” this Saturday (Sept. 9, 2023) as Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Sydney, Australia, for another big pay-per-view (PPV) event. Qudos Arena will play host to Israel Adesanya, who is fighting in his neck of the woods for the first time since 2019. His opponent is No. 5-ranked Sean Strickland, the only opponent in the Top 5 other than Dricus Du Plessis who “The Last Stylebender” hasn’t already defeated.
UFC 293 also features Australian Heavyweight favorite, Tai Tuivasa, who is looking to harness the power of his home country crowd to snap a two-fight losing skid. He faces the extremely tough Alexander Volkov.
There’s a lot of other Australian and New Zealand fighters to round out UFC 293’s card (see it here). Justin Tafa, Tyson Pedro, Carlos Ulberg, Jack Jenkins and Jamie Mullarkey are all featured on the main card or “Prelims” portion.
