While Adesanya is expected to take on Paulo Costa next, many rumours are doing the rounds regarding two potential super fights, against Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.
Adesanya’s coach Eugene Bareman, who heads City Kickboxing, was recently interviewed by Submission Radio.
Bareman stated that Jones needs the Adesanya fight more than his client. He further went on to reveal why a massive showdown against UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic sounds more appealing and historic to his team.
Bareman was dismissive of Jones and instead, was more interested in a clash against Miocic. He also underlined the importance of Paulo Costa and other UFC Middleweight contenders.
Adesanya boasts of a spotless 18-0 record and is all set to face Costa at an undisclosed date. The Middleweight Champion’s stock is the highest it has ever been after a charismatic win against The Reaper at UFC 243, and talks of possible big-money fights can’t be avoided in this situation.
However, Adesanya first would have to prove his mettle by defending his title a few times before he plans on moving up to UFC Heavyweight, or even UFC Light Heavyweight, for a major payday.
