Bareman emphasised that the Nigerian-born fighter remains active with other fighters from City Kickboxing and could make a comeback this year.
This potential return could mark a significant moment in Adesanya’s career as he seeks to regain his position in the middleweight division.
Bareman’s comments come amid Adesanya’s visit to Nigeria, where the two-time UFC middleweight champion has been reconnecting with his roots.
Reflecting on his last fight, Adesanya admitted making a “dumb mistake” that cost him the fight, but he remains determined to bounce back.
His time in Nigeria was a blend of celebration and reflection. After receiving a hero’s welcome in his hometown of Esa-Oke in Osun State, he also made headlines for his nightlife outings in Lagos, where he was spotted enjoying the vibrant city scene.
