Israel Adesanya Says UFC Finish Line Is Now in Sight

The 36-year-old said retirement is nearing fast now. “I know it’s less than 10 (fights)… I can’t see past 2027,” Adesanya (24-5) said, adding he’s on the “tail end.” The two-time UFC middleweight champ won gold in 2019, reclaimed it from Alex Pereira in April 2023, then lost the belt to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 on Sept. 9, 2023.
