Adesanya had shown dominant fighting prowess in the UFC as he has had a 20-0 zero career fights.
His record remained untainted as his two fights between Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa in 2020 ended in flawless victories for him.
The 31-year-old is the former Glory middleweight contender winner and King in the Ring two-time cruiserweight and heavyweight champion.
Adesanya currently ranks number 3 in the UFC men’s pound-for-pound rankings and is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world of mixed martial arts.
