Israel Adesanya is unclear about his future in the UFC after his prolonged reign as middleweight champion

The main event at UFC Saudi Arabia featuring Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov was Adesanya's first non-PPV fight since 2018. Adesanya is one of the most decorated middleweight champions in the promotion's history, with six title defenses to his name.

Adesanya is currently experiencing a challenging period in his career with three consecutive losses. The first loss cost him his UFC middleweight title, and the second demoted him to fight in his first non-UFC PPV event since 2018.

However, Adesanya recently indicated that the third loss has left him uncertain about his next move in the UFC. In a post-fight interview with ESPN MMA, Adesanya expressed hope about finding his path soon, but he also admitted that he is currently unsure of which direction to take.

"I don't know [what's next]. I'll have to chill and then think about things. I will relax first for a little bit, just help the teammates who have fights coming up. Yeah, I'll see what I want to do. I was going to do that anyway, but now I'm forced to. Shoutout to Nassourdine for that."
