Israel Adesanya has told fans to expect "something special" for his next UFC world title fight.
Adesanya, 33, won back his middleweight belt by knocking out bitter rival Alex Pereira at UFC 287 last month. It marked the fourth time Adesanya and Pereira had fought across all disciplines, with 'The Last Stylebender' finally getting a win having previously lost all three contests against Pereira.
The middleweight champion is expected to defend his belt against the winner of Robert Whittaker vs Dricus Du Plessis, which takes place at UFC 290 in July. Adesanya has been one of the UFC's most active champions in recent years and he promised to bring something different to the octagon for his potential fight against Whittaker or Du Plessis.
