as a KB fan i like adesanya, but when you fight an no one everyone can look like a "god"
he is good and a skilled kickboxer-striker of course, but his division (85kg) on kickboxing is one of the weakest on kickboxing,i would say that in this division with the exception of Alex Pereira,Igor Bugaenko, Yousri Belgaroui , Jason Wilnis( depending of his performance), Timur Aylyarov, especially Artur Kyshenko(even without roids) and Artem levin who are levels above everyone on Kickboxing and MMA(not including boxing,lets bet realistic, the rest the MMA strikes are all better than the other guys,also 83kg mma division is historically pretty strong in talent pool
Kickboxing stronger divisions are 70,65 and under,77 is good but still way above the lighter´s
for who think that kickboxing is "dead" is because is probably is north american and only watch glory
kickboxing is growing more than never and doing spetacular in a lot of organizations in asia-europe with a lot of new talents
Kunlun,WLF,WFL,Emei Legend, Glory of Heroes,ACB-KB,K-1(the reinvented japanese focused on 65kg and under, is being fantastic since 2014), Krush, Tafnet Cup,Enfusion
about kickboxing good talent,if you would like to watch guys that are better than adesanya and fight in waay better competition i would recommend
