What lies ahead for Adesanya?
In his last fight, which was filled with tension and surprise moments, Adesanya failed to hold double gold against Jan Blachowicz. Though his performance was admirable, Blachowicz just earned enough to get the nod.
The New Zealand native is likely to return to the division, where he is the King. He has to keep his big ideas of facing either Jon Jones or Ngannou at bay for some time and focus on his next tentative challenger.
A possible rematch with Robert Whittaker is on the cards, though a fight between Darren Till and Marvin Vettori’s bout could have decided the opponent. But the latest collarbone injury to Till has made the April 10 key event to be canceled.

In the past, Adesanya had made his interests clear to fight Till, but now he may have to wait furthermore. Jared Cannonier and Uriah Hall may also have their say as the latter being a formidable striker of his own.
