Since Israel Adesanya was such a dominant champion, and minutes away from winning the fight, it’s not a wild guess that the UFC will book the two rivals for a second clash in the octagon.

At least UFC president Dana White seemed up for an immediate rematch.

“I wouldn’t rule it out,” UFC President Dana White said at the UFC 281 post-fight presser.

”Israel was absolutely confident going into this fight, too. Never once did he look like he was scared of this guy or worried about it. He was picking him apart.”
