Israel Adesanya is coming for the throne. The ultra-charismatic UFC middleweight contender plans on being the biggest box-office draw in mixed martial arts history.

“I’ll be bigger than Conor [McGregor]” he boasted in a video published by Engage Media Group, per NZ Herald. Whatsmore, he does not even see it as a challenge. “I’m coming for those numbers. I don’t even have to chase them, they’ll chase me.”

It is not hard to see what Adesanya sees in himself. He has the natural showmanship to rival McGregor, a fan-friendly striking arsenal, and enough anime and video game references to give Demetrious Johnson a run for his money.

“I’m player one in this. If you guys could see me from my point of view, from my first-person shooter, from where I’ve come from and looking at everything now, it’s just like I planned every single thing and all the variables along the way I’ve adjusted to and adapted to easily,” he proclaimed. “You guys thinks it’s cool to watch from your point of view, but from my point of view, it’s cool for me to watch my own rise and I can’t wait ‘til I take all those numbers.”

The undefeated Adesanya, 29, meets UFC middleweight legend Anderson Silva, 43, in what is reportedly a number one contender’s bout. Adesanya-Silva will serve as the co-main event for UFC 234: Whittaker vs. Gastelum on February 9th.
