For many fans, Israel Adesanya is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC. He’s also one of the most popular, and that’s been the case for a long time now. The former middleweight champion has had his fair share of ups and downs but along the way, he’s made memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Now, however, he’s been forced to take a step back from the middleweight title picture. That’s because in his last two fights, he’s been beaten by Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis – who are expected to battle it out over the belt once again either later this year or early next year.

During a recent podcast appearance, Adesanya gave his thoughts on how that potential rematch could play out.
