Israel Adesanya teases UFC 300 return

With each passing day, it feels like we are getting closer and closer to finding out the main event for UFC 300. The promotion has already announced some amazing fights such as the BMF title fight with Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. However, to this point, we have yet to hear what the main event will be.

Dana White has teased that the main event will be massive and you have to imagine that a title will be on the line. When you look across the UFC’s landscape, there are a few fighters who really move the needle on a superstar level. Fighters like heavyweight champ Jon Jones, Conor McGregor, and former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (24-3).

Jones is currently recovering from a torn pec as well as elbow surgery so we know he’s not a possibility for April. While McGregor really wanted to be on the 300 card, the current target for his return is June for International Fight Week against Michael Chandler. While White said that fight’s not done, McGregor announced the fight himself on New Year’s Day.

That leaves The Last Stylebender. After losing his middleweight title to Sean Strickland last September, Adesanya took a little break from the sport after being the most active champion over the past few years. Stylebender has ramped up his training and today, he teased a return at UFC 300 on his personal Instagram.
