Israel Adesanya is already looking forward to his return to action anf fighting again which most people want to see
So now the two-time Middleweight champion shocked the world back in September by coughing up his belt to Sean Strickland, a bout which saw Strickland rise to the occasion and featured a somewhat lackluster “Stylebender” looking a bit less dynamic than usual.
And so many speculated that a significant injury or simple wear-and-tear was breaking down the striking ace given his ridiculous fight schedule, and Adesanya seemed to confirm as much by announcing he would step aside until 2027.
That claim was met with skepticism and doubt, and just a few months later, Adesanya is already talking about his return to action. He’s still going to take some time to recover his body and return to his best form, but unsurprisingly, the 2027 figure was never serious.
Adesanya explained, “My last few fights I’ve had four fights in 14 months as a champion in the UFC. That’s unheard of. I was the most active champion — not fighter — champion in the league.
Also then life has forced me to take some time off, and I will. But, you will see me soon. I said ‘2027,’ and the retards out there actually thought I meant that. But, you’ll see.”
Note that maybe Adesanya will be ready in time for UFC 300? There are rumors of Alex Pereira fighting at the mega event, and that trilogy will always be interesting regardless of each man’s most recent result.
