“If he wins the -91kg belt, I will do it again,” Adesanya said on “The MMA Hour.” “But otherwise, I think he’s done with it, and I’m done with it. Everyone wants to see it, but we’re done with it, c’est la vie. »
For his next octagon appearance, Adesanya could face the winner of the fight between Robert Whittaker and Dricus Du Plessis, which will take place at UFC 290.
