Israel Adesanya, the interim UFC middleweight champion, is confident that he will be the first fighter in the promotion, who earns $100 million.
"You do not have to go into boxing to earn 100 million, it can be done in UFC. I can become the first in UFC, who will do this. But ultimately I am not going to fight for the money, but for the heritage. "
On October 6 Adesanya will fight Robert Whittaker, current UFC middleweight champion. Their fight will headline UFC 243.
