Adesanya wants Africa to host the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the future and would love to compete on the UFC’s first-ever card from the world’s second-largest continent.

Adesanya said in a recent interview with ESPN. “It is already in the works, we’ve been talking about it for a while.

“I have talked to Dana White (current president of UFC )as well when I had my meeting with him. Eventually, we’re going to have a lot of guys.”

Adesanya plans to return to Nigeria with Kamaru ‘the Nigerian Nightmare’ Usman, the first African fighter to win a UFC title.
