In a recent interview with the Schmo, Romero claimed that Adesanya has lost just one fight in his career and that it was against him. Shocking as it may sound, Romero cheekily said with the smirk that the Nigerian hasn’t lost any other fight (even against Jan Blachowicz).

Romero was quoted as saying, “Izzy has only lost one fight – with me. That’s the first fight Izzy lost – it was with me.” Adesanya has since gone on to defend his middleweight title once against Paulo Costa at UFC 253. He then aimed to become a two-division champion but was stopped by the light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259.

Romero was quoted as saying, “It’s a really really tough match. When you see the first match between Israel and Vettori, it was very close. And Vettori is now coming up. He has grown a lot. Now he is a very dangerous guy. But Izzy’s Izzy.”
