Israel Adesanya is still basking in the glow of his recent victory at UFC 287. Adesanya and Alex Pereira locked horns for the fourth time, and the bout was a total game-changer. In all three previous matches, Pereira won the bouts, and in their latest fight, Adesanya beat ‘Poatan’ via knockout in the second round. This helped him retain his middleweight belt against the mighty Brazilian fighter.

Soon after the title shot, the Nigerian fighter made it clear that he did not wish to face Pereira once again in the octagon. Instead, he wants to defend his belt against other strong fighters in the middleweight division. Later, it was decided that Adesanya would next fight against the winner between Robert Whittaker and Dricus Du Plessis. ‘The Reaper’ and ‘Stillknocks’ will square off at UFC 290. Adesanya’s recent Instagram post proves that he is equally looking forward to the bout between the two. However, Adesanya wishes to have Du Plessis against him to take revenge on the real African debate going on between the two.

Fans answer Israel Adesanya’s question

Whittaker and Du Plessis will lock horns on July 8, 2023, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It seems that ‘The Last Stylebender’ is way too excited about the bout. He is waiting to take revenge on Du Plessis as he mentioned that Adesanya was not a true African, because he does not reside and train in Africa.

Adesanya posted a promo video of his UFC journey, and along with the video, he wrote, “Face the Pain!! Back in the day when you heard this track…you know sh*ts about to get REAL!! We’ve come a looong way as a sport. It’s been awesome to watch the growth… then I jumped in the game and played my part in taking it to new levels and to millions (and millions) of new people around the world My next game will be something special, regardless of who wins. Who do you want to win, Rob or Dricus and Why?“

Fans were excited to come across the Nigerian fighter’s Instagram post, and they were eager to answer him.

One of the fans strongly believed that it was Whittaker who was going to win the bout.
