Former UFC middleweight title challenger Marvin Vettori joined the number of fighters who spoke out against an immediate rematch between Sean Strickland And Israel Adesanya.
Let us remind you that last weekend Strickland beat Adesanya on points and took the title in the middle division.
“I don’t like Israel, so I don’t think he deserves a rematch. Why? I don’t even think he wants this fight himself. Adesanya feels like he's going to lose again, so he doesn't want to fight Strickland again right now.
Let's see what Shawn will do as champion. He's reinvigorated the division and I think Du Plessis will be the next contender. Drikus deserves a title shot much more than Adesanya. So is Jared Cannonier.
I just don’t think this rematch will sell well. Adesanya's time has come to an end. It would be much more interesting for me to see Strickland’s fight with Du Plessis or his second fight with Cannonier,” MMA Junkie quotes the Italian.
