A great quote from the iconic movie Fight Club goes like this: “It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.” Seems like Izzy’s feeling that quote. In light of the fact, after his Sean Strickland loss, he said he wouldn’t be back until 2027, but he returned at UFC 305. But he took another loss from Dricus Du Plessis, and now it looks like he’s more fired up than ever. His coach has hinted that the Nigerian-Kiwi fighter is seeking another fight before the loss this year.
Izzy debunked the idea of retiring after two consecutive losses and stated he has much to offer to the sport as he is just 35. Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Combat TV on YouTube, Eugene Bareman hinted that ‘The Last Stylebender’ might return to the Octagon before the year’s out. And the idea of him retiring seems far off.
He said, “I would say that Izzy will fight again this year as well. It could be all on again, this year, it just doesn’t stop.”
No doubt Izzy’s gunning hard to get back on top. He used to run the division, but now he’s been taken down by one fighter after another. It’s not just about Izzy—City Kickboxing’s head coach is confident that other gym fighters will also return to the Octagon. It’ll definitely be interesting to see who Izzy fights next.
Who Should Israel Adesanya Fight Next?
At UFC 305, Adesanya’s ground game weaknesses were once again exposed. Facing a challenger like Khamzat Chimaev, who seems unbeatable, could be a great opportunity for Izzy.
He could also face Robert Whittaker, a former rival who is currently ranked #3 in the division, just behind Adesanya. This rematch would be an epic showdown for fans.

Another option is Caio Borralho, who recently defeated former title contender Jared Cannonier. Borralho is gaining recognition as a future champion, making Adesanya’s next move unpredictable. While the timing and location of his next fight remain uncertain, fans are keenly watching what he will do next.
