Tim Welch, the coach of former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, has indicated that Adesanya might face Sean Strickland in his upcoming fight.
According to Welch on his YouTube channel, Adesanya is currently enjoying life, contrasting his previous schedule of frequent fights, sometimes headlining events almost every other time. Regarding his next opponent, it seems Adesanya is looking to settle the score with Strickland, expressing a strong interest in this particular rematch.
It`s worth recalling that Adesanya suffered a unanimous decision loss to Strickland in September 2023. Following that defeat, Adesanya competed twice more in the octagon, experiencing losses against Dricus Du Plessis and Nassourdin Imavov.
