Ex-UFC Star Makes Bold Prediction for Israel Adesanya’s Career Post-UFC 305; Teases Alex Pereira Trilogy
But Schaub’s predictions don’t stop there. After Adesanya takes down Du Plessis, Schaub sees another big fight on the horizon: a rematch with Sean Strickland. “He’s going to fight Sean Strickland, and he’s going to be 100% focused. He’s going to beat Sean Strickland,” Schaub confidently stated. For Schaub, these wins would do more than just pad Adesanya’s record—they could redefine his legacy.
The real surprise in Schaub’s prediction is what comes next. He believes Adesanya’s final fight could be a trilogy bout against Alex Pereira, but this time at light heavyweight. “You’re going to get Alex vs. Izzy at 205. It’s his last fight ever,” Schaub teased. This potential matchup, Schaub argues, could cement Adesanya as the greatest middleweight of all time.
Israel Adesanya didn’t hold back when responding to Dricus Du Plessis’ comments about being the "real African fighter" in the UFC. Du Plessis, hailing from South Africa, hinted that the title belts never truly represented his country, a claim that lit a fire under Adesanya. "He will never understand that because he lives behind the f****** gates of his privileged life in South Africa," Adesanya said in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
Adesanya, who had to leave Nigeria for better opportunities, feels Du Plessis doesn’t grasp the struggles faced by fighters like himself, Francis Ngannou, and Kamaru Usman. "We paved the way for him," Adesanya added, disavowing Du Plessis’ earlier statements.
The Last Stylebender is now more determined than ever to settle the score in the octagon at UFC 305, where he aims to reclaim his middleweight title. But will Adesanya’s journey unfold as predicted? Can he overcome Du Plessis and Strickland to solidify his legacy? Will Adesanya reclaim his throne and end his career on a high note?
