Overview

• Head coach Eugene Bareman says Adesanya is back at City Kickboxing training daily, often twice a day, after time off earlier this year.
• The camp is preparing for a potential fight before the end of 2025, though no bout has been offered or agreed by the UFC.
• Bareman reports there have been no concrete opponent discussions and suggests a "fun" matchup to reignite Adesanya’s run.
• A rematch with Sean Strickland interests the team, but Strickland remains under Nevada Athletic Commission suspension over a June incident.
• The renewed push follows a three-fight losing streak, most recently a February TKO defeat to Nassourdine Imavov, as Bareman rejects retirement talk and says "Izzy’s got a couple more in him."
