Jared Cannonier eyes summer return fight, open to Israel Adesanya rematch: ‘There’s no fresh opponents’

Off the back of his rallying win at UFC Vegas 102, Jared Cannonier certainly wants to keep the ball rolling on his campaign this annum, revealing plans for a summer return — as well as a rematch clash with former undisputed titleholder, Israel Adesanya.

Cannonier — who remains the number seven ranked contender off the back of his UFC Vegas 102, turned back the surging Brazilian force, Gregory Rodrigues in their main event clash last weekend.
