‘We need to run it back’ - Israel Adesanya calls out Robert Whittaker for rematch in New Zealand

The next fight for Israel Adesanya couldn’t be clearer, and even the champ seems to know it. The ‘Last Stylebender’ breezed by Marvin Vettori for a dominant decision win in the main event of UFC 263. But, rather than sitting back on his laurels and waiting to see what the UFC would offer him next, he came primed with a call-out the moment the fight was over.

“Well you know, the old mozzie, my arch-nemesis, that other c-nt, what’s his name?” Adesanya told Joe Rogan immediately after the bout (transcript via MMA Fighting).
