There appears to be one person in MMA that really wants to see Kamaru Usman fight Israel Adesanya in a super-fight. Ali Abdelaziz, Usman's manager has been pushing hard for the two to fight while they are UFC champions.

Kamaru Usman is currently expected to defend his UFC welterweight title against Leon Edwards. After that, Ali Abdelaziz wants to see the super-fight with Israel Adesanya.

“The next victim is Leon Edwards, “Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports. “Great fighter but he will get finished under three rounds. Fact. It’s gonna happen. The welterweight division in the UFC right now is very interesting. Kamaru is gonna beat him. I want him to beat Leon Edwards and then I want him to go fight Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title.”

Kamaru Usman and Israel Adesanya have both said they won't fight each other because they are friends. Money appears to be the only thing that could convince the UFC champions to fight each other.

“Listen, these guys, they’re cool but I don’t think they’re best friends,” Abdelaziz said. “If there is enough money for both of them to fight, they will fight in the parking lot. I know how people work. This has nothing to do with loyalty, because these guys, it’s not like they’re training partners or brothers. They’re African brothers and that holds a lot of value … but at the end of the day, I’m Kamaru Usman’s team all the way. I want to see Kamaru Usman, before the end of the road, have two titles. I’m selfish, I’m greedy, and I think Kamaru deserves it….

“I know [UFC president Dana White] wants it, I want it, it makes sense. It makes a lot of sense .. I think there is enough money for these two guys that they would fight. I want to see this fight now. I think fans want it, I want it. I think these two men need to call each other.”
