Israel Adesanya vows never to return once he retires from fighting

The two-time UFC middleweight champion, 37, is on a four-fight losing streak, including finishes against Joe Pyfer, Nassourdine Imavov and Dricus du Plessis. He said he doesn't want to be a fighter who comes back because he doesn't know what to do with himself, and expects to scratch the adrenaline itch with other risks outside combat sports.
