Israel Adesanya’s Coach Confirms Title Fight Next on the Horizon

Despite speculation that Israel Adesanya will face Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title, no official announcement has been made. Eugene Bareman, Adesanya’s longtime head coach, recently stated that his return will be in a championship fight.

As stated to The New Zealand Herald, the founder of City Kickboxing spoke:

“Israel will be fighting for the title next. The date, I’m not sure. Give us a date and we’ll take it. We’re sitting ready to go… Israel’s pretty adamant that he has to fight for the title. It’s not up to Du Plessis. If that was the case, I wish Israel as a champion had those sorts of choices. The truth is, he probably didn’t.”

In his last 11 fights, Adesanya has competed for a championship, achieving a commendable 8-3 record in those matches. Additionally, du Plessis seemingly announced their upcoming clash through an Instagram post on Tuesday. ‘The Last Stylebender’ will aim to become only the second fighter in UFC history to win a title in the same weight class for the third time, following in the footsteps of Randy Couture.
