After putting on a show and massacring Sean Strickland No. UFC 276, Alex Poatán watched the fight Israel adesanya from the first row. Candidate for a middleweight title fight (up to 83,9 kg), the Brazilian stated that he was not convinced by the champion's performance. At a press conference, the Nigerian's tormentor from his kickboxing days warned his likely opponent about a possible fight.
“I was very happy with my victory and Adesanya's, but he will have to be better than he was today. It didn't excite me and it didn't excite many people either. In the fourth round, I saw a lot of people leaving. Next time I’m going to make him fight and excite these people,” he said.
