UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya’s thorough demolition of Paulo Costa at UFC 253 has many wondering just exactly who can challenge him within his division. Former title challenger Chael Sonnen, as he so often does, has gone off the beaten path for his two suggestions.
In his post-fight breakdown of last Saturday’s main event, Sonnen went to his whiteboard and named former champions Chris Weidman and Tyron Woodley as Adesanya’s two biggest challenges at present. I know, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and he even acknowledges it in the video (posted at the top of the page).
