Israel Adesanya Addresses His Future and Desire to Reclaim UFC Gold

Israel Adesanya recently expressed his candid thoughts on how he wants his fighting career’s final days to unfold.

Adesanya went on a hiatus after losing three bouts in a row. In his last fight, which was the Nigerian-born Kiwi’s first non-title bout in over five years, he faced Nassourdine Imavov and lost by TKO in Round 2.

The 36-year-old had taken some time off to support teammates and reflect, as he stated following the Imavov loss:

“I have to chill and then think about things. I will relax first for a little bit, just help the teammates who have fights coming up, and yeah, see what I want to.
