  • After making his debut back in 2018, UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya climbed the standings defeating opponent after opponent until claiming the belt in 2019 after securing the win over Robert Whittaker at UFC 243. Adesanya hopes too once again prove he is king of the middleweight division as he faces Whittaker in a rematch bout at UFC 271 on February 12.

    I so love the way Izzy sets up those question mark kicks or even high kicks with low kicks and lots of feints. It makes so hard for opponents to see it coming. One of the best UFC strikers without a doubt, and he's really improving. Can't wait for UFC 271, he's still going to win that fight against Whitaker most likely by decision, i just can't see Whitaker getting reckless again when he presses forward throwing the cross without guarding up.

      Not only how he sets up his question mark, but how he returns to set while using that momentum of resetting to launch a superman punch that doesn't over extend him at all. 5:39 is a decent example.

Yoel stood still in the centre of the cage with his guard up just begging for his legs to get blasted, same with Costa. Vettori didn’t want to engage either so you can’t really blame Izzy for using the tools that mean he can defend his belts without too much risk of taking damage in an unnecessary firefight. It takes two to have a great fight and unfortunately Israel just hasn’t came up against anyone other than Kelvin that could give him a competitive fight, hence why some of his performances are safe and smart fights.

      Been a fight fan all my life and find him impossible to like. I admire a champion who exudes class and expresses respect. Adesanya does neither. I cannot stand him. When he carries it into the ring I can’t even enjoy watching him fight, which is such a shame as he is amazing. I compare his attitude to that of people like Anderson Silva, Mark Hunt, Fedor, Couture, GSP to take some random things samples of fighters I’ve respected in the past, basically people who didn’t act like assholes to their opponents.

    People should definitely refresh your memory with his fights before he got the belt too. He was piecing dudes apart! Since he got the belt no one has really brought the fight and remotely tested Izzy, not even close. He KO'd Robert twice. Gastellum is the last and only person to really push Izzy. Since that battle no one has really brought it and wanted to go to war. They all kinda froze up.. and you gotta credit that to Izzy because not anyone can just do that to people? Izzy has so much skill I feel we will see further once opponents actually bring a good fight to him. It takes 2 to tango and he's not had competition that push him. He's literally coasting through some of these fights not even getting into high gear.. idk.. you either see it or you don't but Izzy really has that dog ability in him to go to the depths of a battle, a high fight IQ battle. He needs competition tho.

      I do think Izzy will beat Whitaker again but let’s not disrespect Whitaker. The guy is a warrior, former champion, went 10 rounds with seeyousoonboi Romero, and has literally beat every other top middleweight convincingly…

      10 rounds with Romero, 2 rounds with Izzy.
      I'm interested to see if he has any answer to Adensanya this time. I doubt it tho.
