MASSIVE MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCH! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Sydney, Australia, for the first time in five years on Sat., Sept. 9, 2023, with a 185-pound world title fight inside Qudos Bank Arena. In the ESPN+-streamed pay-per-view (PPV) main event, Middleweight roost-ruler, Israel Adesanya, plans to silence No. 5-seeded contender, Sean Strickland. In UFC 293’s hard-hitting Heavyweight co-main event, No-6-ranked fan favorite, Tai Tuivasa, locks horns with towering Russian, Alexander Volkov (No. 8).

Don’t miss a single second of EPIC face-punching action!

This was a wild fight that saw early success by “Semi The Jedi” with powerful straight rights. Semelsberger was able to threaten with a few submission attempts along the way as well, but Medic hung in tough. Medic was stepping in on short notice for this affair yet still showcased good cardio entering the third round.

That allowed him to start landing some solid offense and he connected with a beautiful spinning back elbow along the cage. Semelsberger fell to the canvas and Medic quickly jumped on top for heavy ground-and-pound. The referee may have been quick to pull the trigger on the TKO stoppage, but the writing was on the wall.
