Israel Adesanya Reveals Injury Killed Short-Notice Reinier de Ridder Fight Plan

Adesanya revealed he nearly took a short-notice bout against RDR last year, but a gym injury scrapped the opportunity. “I was gonna fight… then I got injured in the gym,” he said. “It was a short-notice fight… I’ve never done one of those,” Adesanya added, calling it an exciting first. The ex-middleweight champion will face Joe Pyfer in March.
