In the infancy of the Dana White Era of the UFC, the promotion used a marketing line that read, 'As Real As It Gets.' And though that's long gone to pasture, White may want to revive it about former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
Both made strong cases for themselves, but it appears White is having none of it.
Fighters often make all sorts of threats in those situations. That's not what they said, according to White, who may have been the only person close enough to hear. "These guys can say, 'Hey, I respect you and love what you do,' but it's not going to change the fact it's going to be an absolute war. I love this fight. I love what it means for both guys and I can't wait to see that one."The UFC is very calculating about where it puts fights on each card. There is nothing random about the placement of any of the fights.
