Sonnen clarified the likely opponent Adesanya would select if he wins the match against Strickland in Sydney. Well, to do that, he considered the undefeated middleweight Khamzat Chimaev and the guy who, due to an unforeseen situation, was not able to be his opponent, Dricus du Plessis.

Comparing both the middleweight bigwigs, he said, “It is not a simple question to say who is better between du Plessis and Chimaev. But I do believe that Adesanya will make up within his mind who is more difficult and I believe that’s the person he will go after. As wild as that sounds, as Anti helpful to your own career as that could be, that is how he works. There is a fine line of Genius in his sanity. Adesanya is the perfect example of that.”
