According to newly-crowned UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, the Yoel Romero fight is a done deal.
‘The Last Stylebender’ broke the news to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani on Monday, claiming that the middleweight title bout will take place later this year at UFC 248.
“The fight’s done,” Adesanya said. “I literally just got to the gym now. I’m about to get some work in. Make no mistake, I’m still putting work in. I’m still getting ready for my second title defense against a veteran in the game, a veteran in the wrestling, a tough motherf-----, the boogeyman of the division, the guy no one calls out - except ‘Stylebender.’”
