Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has no intention of returning to the octagon at April's UFC 300 event. This was reported by journalist Ariel Helwani.
I’ve inquired multiple times about Izzy leading up to all this. And I’m repeatedly told ‘Not ready to go at UFC 300’ … Maybe the UFC now says ‘All right, how do we make this right, how do we get you to come fight at UFC 300?’ I don’t know.

Adesanya, 34, last fought in September 2023 at UFC 293, losing to Sean Strickland via unanimous decision. He has 24 wins and three losses on his record.
