Previous UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya knows exactly who he wants to face next should he get the job done at UFC Fight Night 250 this weekend.
Competing for the first time in 2025, Israel Adesanya will square off with rising 185-lb star Nassourdine Imavov in the Middle East this Saturday. The bout comes as different territory for the former middleweight kingpin, with it being the first non-title contest for Adesanya in nearly six years since his 2019 clash with Anderson Silva.
Since then, “The Last Stylebender” has fought in 12 championship fights, including a one-off expedition to light heavyweight, where he lost for the first time against Jan Blachowicz.
