Former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya has been backed to headline UFC 300 next April by former title challenger, Chael Sonnen, who claims unbeaten divisional contender, Khamzat Chimaev should also feature on the monumental card.
Adesanya, a former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, headlined UFC 293 back in September most recently, suffering a stunning upset loss to arch-rival, Sean Strickland in a one-sided unanimous decision blemish.
And in the immediate aftermath of the Sydney, Australia card, Adesanya claimed he would remain sidelined from active competition for the foreseeable future – until 2027 at the earliest, in fact.
