UFC 243’s Israel Adesanya teases of superfight with heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic

Israel Adesanya feels destined to become the biggest star in the UFC.

‘The Last Stylebender’ made his promotional debut in 2018 and, just one year later, is already challenging for the UFC middleweight title.

But why stop at one world title?

If all things go to plan at UFC 243, where Adesanya will look to beat Robert Whittaker to unify the middleweight titles, the 30-year-old has his sights set on the heavyweight title.

This may come as a shock to MMA fans but, speaking to Submission Radio in a recent interview, Adesanya explained why moving to heavyweight wouldn’t be that big of a deal.
