Coach Eugene Bareman, the head coach behind UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, recently addressed rumors that Adesanya will coach the next season of The Ultimate Fighter against top middleweight contender Paulo Costa.<\/p>\n

Adesanya and Costa have long been linked to a middleweight title fight, but the bout has not yet been made official. UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently divulged that he heard the plan was to have Adesanya and Costa coach TUF, which would require additional negotiations\u2014hence the delay. That comment from Rogan caused widespread speculation that an Adesanya vs. Costa TUF season is indeed the plan.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Submission Radio<\/a> this week, Bareman responded to those rumors. He claims that Rogan likely knows more than he does, but that nothing has come across his desk with respect to an Adesanya vs. Costa TUF season.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Rogan is more in the know than I am, because I don\u2019t know anything about it,\u201d Bareman said (via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201c100%, I don\u2019t know anything about it. No one has ever proposed it to me, I\u2019ve never had any documentation, I\u2019ve never had any electronic documentation saying anything about it at all. Joe Rogan, knows a lot more about it than me. So you can take that how you want it but it probably means that Joe Rogan\u2019s source of information is not good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing has come over my desk in regards to Paulo Costa and Israel Adesanya, fighting, nothing about that, and I\u2019ve also had nothing in regard to\u00a0The Ultimate Fighter,\u201d <\/em>Bareman said.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201c<\/strong><\/em>For\u00a0The Ultimate Fighter<\/em>\u00a0to happen, a lot more would have to be done. Really, the decision for me would be a business decision. Like, how much would that help Israel make money? If it added greatly to his backend, to his pay-per-view, that might be worth giving it a go, even though the stories that we heard from\u00a0The Ultimate Fighter<\/em> are that it\u2019s a hard time. It\u2019s quite a hard time. It\u2019s not the most enjoyable time but if it makes dollars, it makes sense. These guys got to scrap for every dollar they can so that\u2019s what I base my decision on, if it comes down to it. But it\u2019s not a discussion point at the moment because it needs to come over my desk and nothing has come over my desk in regard to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, Bareman assures that he and Adesanya are ready to fight Costa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re good to go, we\u2019re just waiting on them,\u201d Bareman said. \u201cSeptember is good for us. If the UFC want to put the fight on, we\u2019ll fight it. Let\u2019s push for September. It will give us enough time to get ready. A lot of the other noise to do with coronavirus and stuff will have calmed down. Let\u2019s do it in September. Send the contract over. Let\u2019s get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
