“I think it’s great for me, because there’s the aesthetic side of it. I'm the skinny guy, the fragile boy that everyone stares at. He seems like the perfect antagonist: the big, strong, pumped-up guy. The guy who beats everyone on the fence”, said the Nigerian in an interview with 'ESPN'.
Known for his agility, quality counterattacks and ability to mislead his rivals, Israel confirms that he will surprise Borrachinha and maintain his position in one of the most anticipated fights of recent years.
“When I show up doing some Bruce Lee shit, everyone's going to be like, 'Oh my God, he hit me hard.' People will like it and I love it. It means it will get more looks, more attention,” he explained.
On September 26, Adesanya will defend his second belt. Linear champion since October last year, the Nigerian maintained his position by defeating Yoel romero No. UFC 248.
