Becoming just the fourth fighter to reclaim his title in an immediate rematch, Israel Adesanya is already looking to climb back into the Octagon this summer. Before then, the two-time middleweight champion is spending some time with his City Kickboxing brother and reigning 145-pound king, Alexander Volkanovski.Social media followers expressed gratitude for the behind-the-scenes glimpse, with one individual commenting, “It’s heartening to witness two legends supporting each other both privately and publicly. This is truly amazing, champion.”
Alexander Volkanovski, the current featherweight champion, is scheduled to have a fight with Yair Rodriguez, who holds the interim 145-pound title. Rodriguez won the interim championship in February at UFC 284, which was also the night when Volkanovski fought Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship in a highly competitive match that could be considered a contender for Fight of the Year.
