Former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya is chasing a rematch clash with fellow ex-champion, Sean Strickland in his return to the UFC later this year. That’s according to veteran head coach, Tim Welch at least.
Adesanya, who is currently in the midst of a disappointing three-fight losing skid, has been sidelined since his return in a non-title fight back in February of this year.
And headlining the promotion’s return to Saudi Arabia, Adesanya would take on the surging French-Russian challenger, Nassourdine Imavov.
