Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya believes that an era of fighters from Nigeria will soon come to the world's strongest league.
MMA News quotes Izzy as saying:
I like this thread. I can't count how many Brazilians in the UFC, I'd guess there have been less than 10 Nigerians or a bit more in the UFC. I will tell you this, when Nigerians start to flood the UFC with what Kamaru and I have inspired… it's GAME OVER!!
For now, Israel has put his mixed martial arts career on hold, saying he w🧸ill return t🏅o the octagon in 2027.
Adesanya last fought against Sean Strickland in the main event of UFC 293. That fight lasted the entire distance and ended in a 🍷unanimous decision defeat for Israel. Thus, the New Zealander was once again deprived of the championship title. He ๊has 24 wins and three losses.
