Adesanya survived his first round scare, but went on to lose 49-46 on all three judges' scorecards. After the incredible upset, Rogan said: "I'm stunned. "I think this is the most stunned I've ever been, surprised at a performance. "Like, Holly Holm-Ronda [Rousey]. I knew Holly was dangerous. I knew Holly was a legit striker and if Ronda couldn't get her to the ground, Holly is a multiple-time world kickboxing champion. "When he cracked him with that right hand in the first round, I was like, 'What world? What timeline are we on?'" Adesanya, 34, is among the UFC's most marketable stars and is due to be on the cover of their upcoming video game. Strickland, meanwhile, was nearly passed over for this fight, before other options fell through. After his win, the new middleweight champion said: "Izzy's had how many highlight knockouts, he's beaten the majority of my friends pretty easily. I was even doubting myself at times, but the fans in Australia motivated me. "I give so many brain cells to the MMA gods every day.
