Impressed by the Brazilian's victory in the clash against Israel adesanya, which won the São Paulo native the middleweight belt (up to 83,9kg.), 'Notório' analyzed the rivalry between the fighters. The Irishman also pondered the historic clash that took place in November.
“This guy (Poatan) is a very solid, stable fighter. He is Israel adesanya They have an incredible rivalry. I can't wait to see a rematch. If the fight had no time limit, Adesanya would still have the belt. I’m looking forward to the new fight”, wrote McGregor, in his profile on Twitter.

Even with Conor's support for another clash between Alex and Israel, Ultimate has not made official the next challenges for the middleweight stars. Owner of the title, Poatan suggested a fight against Khamzat Shimaev at UFC Rio, but at light heavyweight. The proposal, however, was 'ignored' by the organization.
Defeated after five title defenses in the under-83,9kg category, Adesanya does not hide his desire to face the Brazilian again. The setback in UFC 281 It marked the Nigerian's third stumble against the São Paulo native. The first two took place under kickboxing rules.
A really solid fighter this guy is! Stability. Himself and @stylebender is one hell of a rivalry! I can't wait to see it unfold! Izzy so close each time. No time limit and Izzy still has that belt. Excited for their forthcoming! Team @ParadigmSports all the way! https://t.co/qxjy2XFW7W
