Israel Adesanya, the former UFC middleweight champion, has confirmed his strong desire for a rematch against fellow former titleholder Sean Strickland in the middleweight division.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Adesanya disclosed his intentions: “I have already informed the matchmaker about this. I told my coach, the time has come. I know who I want to fight, I have a feeling. You will like this fight, I want a rematch with Sean Strickland.”
Their initial bout took place in September 2023. That fight concluded with a notable upset, as Sean Strickland secured a victory by unanimous decision from the judges.
