"The most important conclusion is that it's over. I don't think Israel Adesanya's championship will come back to him again. I say that with the utmost respect for him, and I really mean it sincerely right now. This is an original and incredible fighter. A legend in the sport. A future member of the Hall of Fame. But his time at the top has passed," MMA Fighting quoted Bisping as saying.
Recall that Adesanya lost to Imavov by technical knockout in the main event of UFC Fight Night 250 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
