However, for the past few days, a fight between both of the UFC champions has been the buzz of the town since Usman‘s manager shared his willingness to pit them against each other. However, Adesanya‘s coach isn’t on board with the discussions surrounding a match-up between Adesanya and Usman.
“So, Israel and Kamaru are friends. Respectfully, I’ll never talk about them fighting. Israel had already said they won’t fight since they are good friends. I know a little bit about their relationship. And just that’s like I said out of respect, I am not even gonna even talk about that or contemplate it just in the same way that Kamaru and Israel don’t. And no one in my team would.”Bareman explained via Submission Radio.
“That’s Kamaru’s team and Kamaru’s manager and they do things differently and if Kamaru’s manager doesn’t have the same respect that I do for Israel in the relationship, that’s between them. I got nothing to do with them. So, I don’t care on the matter,” Adesanya’s coach continued.
