Caio Borralho Eyes Clash With Israel Adesanya as Crucial Step Towards UFC Middleweight Title: ‘Not the Same Focused Guy’
For Borralho, a fight with Adesanya represents more than just another win—it’s a chance to prove he’s ready for the title. He believes that taking on a fighter of Adesanya’s caliber will not only prepare him for the pressures of a championship bout but also solidify his status as a top contender. “I think Adesanya might be the best fight for me right now,” Borralho explained. “If I had to choose one more before the title, I think it would be Adesanya and then the title.”
With his eyes firmly set on Adesanya, Borralho is eager to take the next step in his UFC journey. A victory could propel him directly into a title shot, making this potential matchup one of the most anticipated in the division.
Israel Adesanya recently addressed rumors about a possible injury during his UFC 305 fight against Dricus du Plessis. After Alex Pereira suggested that Adesanya might have been injured, ‘The Last Stylebender’ responded with a statement that seemed to support Pereira’s claim, leading to some backlash from fans who accused him of making excuses.
Adesanya quickly clarified his words, stating, “I just said ‘he knows my style.’ Go touch some grass please…” Pereira had noted that Adesanya appeared to be lacking his usual low kicks during the fight, hinting at an injury. Adesanya’s repost of Pereira’s analysis was meant to acknowledge their familiarity with their GLORY Kickboxing days, not to confirm any injury.
The two fighters' history only added fuel to the ongoing speculation among fans. But will this strategic move pay off, or is Borralho underestimating the challenge ahead? What do you think—does Borralho have what it takes to defeat Adesanya?
