Colby Covington, who recently announced his transition to the UFC middleweight division, expressed his desire to fight former champion in this weight class Israel Adesanya.
“A fight with an opponent like Israel Adesanya intrigues me — he's a former champion, like me, a person who creates hype, has a fan base, a platform, and a brand. Therefore, I believe that a fight with Izzy makes the most sense, and besides, he's someone I really don't like. He has said a lot about me in the past, so let's see if he can back up his words with actions,” said the American in an interview with Submission Radio.
