Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has revealed that he has signed a new UFC contract and will return to the octagon fairly soon.\n<\/p>\n
Adesanya made the disclosure on the Precision podcast, confirming that he has put pen to paper on the deal for his comeback.\n<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old has lost four consecutive fights since he knocked out Alex Pereira at UFC 287. Three of those defeats came by stoppage, two by TKO and one by submission.\n<\/p>\n
Despite the poor run, Adesanya said he is excited to be back and feels renewed after a difficult period.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have missed this s\u2014. The last three years have just not been fun. I have been lost. So, I am found again, and I just cannot wait to showcase everything, and yes, you will see. You know me, I speak from the heart, and I do not want to let this get bigger. I just want to show you guys,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
He also teased a violent return.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I am going to say is there is going to be blood in the sand. There will be blood in the sand, and it will not be me,\u201d Adesanya said.<\/p>\n
The remark suggests the fight could be held in Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia, although no venue or opponent has been confirmed.\n<\/p>\n
Adesanya recently said that he would not come out of retirement once he decides to walk away from fighting, and that he plans to compete about twice a year instead of four times.\n <\/p>\n
