Israel Adesanya says Dana White now on board with his future plan: ‘I sold him the idea’

The budding UFC middleweight star sat down with UFC president Dana White recently in Sydney, Australia and together they both laid out a plan for his future, Adesanya told Submission Radio this week. White had his own ideas for what should be next for Adesanya, but Adesanya says the promoter now sees it his way.

“When I sit in front of someone, you can feel me, you can really understand what I’m saying, you can feel my passion,” Adesanya said. “So, it’s different than doing it over the phone. Yeah, he’s on board with my plan now and he likes it.
