Israel Adesanya insists he is ‘undefeated’ after latest UFC loss

Adesanya made the statement after his defeat at UFC Fight Night in Seattle.

“You keep going again and again… I’m not f______ leaving! You’ll never stop me. I might get beaten, but I will always remain undefeated,” Adesanya said.

The comment appears to frame “undefeated” as a mindset rather than a record.

It also reflects his determination to continue fighting despite recent setbacks.
