Coach Eugene Bareman wants fresh competition for Israel Adesanya

Israel Adesanya‘s coach, Eugene Bareman, talked about the middleweight champ’s next fight. According to Bareman, Adesanya’s team does not want a competitor that Adesanya has already faced. They are looking at the fresh competition. According to Bareman, someone the fans least expect to get a title shot should get one.

“Someone new, someone different. I don’t want to fight these guys we’ve already fought. It’s nothing. We are in the sport to prove that we are the best, and when you beat someone 2 or three times, you have proven that. I don’t know, it’s a funny division when you have got such a dominant champion,” Bareman said.

We will fight in eight weeks,” said Bareman. MMA fans are thrilled to know that they can see ‘The Last Stylebender’ fight in eight weeks.
