Michael Bisping doesn’t expect to see Israel Adesanya in the UFC title picture again.
Although Bisping thought Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) looked good in his submission loss to middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis on Saturday at UFC 305, he doesn’t think he’ll be competing in anymore championship fights. Adesanya’s past 12 appearances have been UFC title bouts, but he has now lost three of his past four.
“He looked great, he had moments of brilliance, certainly in Round 3 when he was piecing Dricus Du Plessis up on the feet,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “Ripping to the body, beautiful shots delivered with perfect technique, but ultimately he lost the fight. We’ve got to ask the question: Is Izzy done? Are his championship days over? Because the answer to that one is more than likely probably.
