By The Numbers: UFC 293 Pre-Fight Edition

Israel Adesanya will get what amounts to a home game when he defends his undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight crown opposite Sean Strickland in the UFC 293 main event on Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. Meanwhile, Alexander Volkov toes the line against Tai Tuivasa in the three-round heavyweight co-headliner.

As UFC 293 “Adesanya vs. Strickland” approaches, a look at some of the numbers the fighters on the card bring to the table:

100,000: Dollars in post-fight bonuses banked by Strickland across his 19 assignments in the UFC. He has been awarded “Performance of the Night” twice.
