Israel Adesanya, the current UFC middleweight champion, said that, in the event of a victory over Sean Strickland, in the future he intends to meet in the octagon with the winner of the Chimaev-Costa pair, and not with Dricus Du Plessis.

“I am the champion and I choose the fights, not you, Drewkus. You must understand this. You can't sit on the sidelines and count on getting a title shot at your convenience. If I decide, I will give a chance to the winner of the fight between Chimaev and Kosta, and not to you, ”Adesanya said while talking to the press in Sydney.

Recall that the fight between Adesanya and Strickland will take place on September 9 and will head UFC 293.
