I’ve inquired multiple times about Izzy leading up to all this. And I’m repeatedly told ‘Not ready to go at UFC 300’ … Maybe the UFC now says ‘All right, how do we make this right, how do we get you to come fight at UFC 300?’ I don’t know.
Adesanya, 34, last fought in September 2023 at UFC 293, losing to Sean Strickland via unanimous decision. He has 24 wins and three losses on his record.
