Paulo Costa, who also lost to Adesanya at UFC 253, called out the Australian on Twitter in October.

Robert Whittaker wants Israel Adesanya rematch

Israel Adesanya looks set to go up to light-heavyweight to fight newly crowned champion Jan Błachowicz. Dana White confirmed the fight after UFC Fight Night last weekend, hinting Whittaker didn’t want the rematch with Adesanya.

The former middleweight champion, however, didn’t make the comments Dana White claimed he did. In the same interview, Whittaker was baffled by suggestions he didn’t want the rematch with the champion.
