'The Last StyleBender' Adesanya (January 21) has successfully defended the championship belt against Marvin Vettori (April 17-1) at UFC 263 last weekend, this is the third title of Adesanya since winning the championship from Robert Whittaker by TKO in Melbourne, Australia in 2019.
“Vettori is a tank, Vettori is a very tough and persistent boxer, but Vettori's opponent plays better than him.” – White answered the press conference after the match.
“It seems that Adesanya has played much better than the previous match. One more thing I like in Adesanya is that before this match, Adesanya said that he wanted to rematch in October, not playing with Vettori and thought about his next match, interesting, and I really liked this in Adesanya.” – White praised Adesanya in the press conference.
Dana White said he and the reigning Middlewael Israel Adesanya championship had discussed Adesanya's next match with former champion Robert Whittaker.
“Adesanya is our very cool champion. We will organize the rematch between Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker as soon as possible. Whether Australian punches have paid anger 2 years ago, I am quite suspicious.” – White said.
