Second in the middleweight rankings (up to 83,9kg.), Jared Cannonier is confident that he will be the next challenger for the Israel adesanya. In an interview with 'The Schmo', the North American says that he was chosen by the Nigerian and, despite not yet having a firm date for the fight, he reveals his desire to make it 'look easy' to win the Ultimate title.

“I have a new prediction. I'll turn 'Izzy' (Adesanya's nickname) into 'Easy' (easy). I don't have (an exact date for the fight), but I heard I'm next. And he is also a man of his word. He has the ability to choose the next fights and he chose me, as if I were some kind of Pokémon or something. Whatever it takes for me to get there and get my shot at the title,” said Cannonier.
With an eye on an unprecedented title fight, Cannonier has had five wins in his last six appearances. In his most recent performance, he rapped Derek Brunson with brutal elbows, which happened in the UFC 271, in February this year.
The fighter now has 15 victories – over names like Anderson Silva, Derek Brunson, Jack hermansson –, in addition to five setbacks.
