Can Adesanya join the rare group of fighters who beat all the top 5 of his division?

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

MIDDLEWEIGHT
ISRAEL ADESANYA
CHAMPION

1
Robert Whittaker FINISHED; WILL SOON BEAT AGAIN
2
Marvin Vettori ALREADY BEAT TWICE
3
Jared Cannonier
4
Derek Brunson FINISHED
5
Paulo Costa FINISHED


He just need to take out Jared and he got them all

If this was accomplished he would join greats like: Fedor, Stipe, Jones, Anderson Silva, GSP, Aldo, Cruz, DJ...

Kind of a weak top 5 tbh

Not a hater, just never been as sold on Izzy as others.

Personally I think he'll be around for quite sometime IF he gets through Whittaker which I'm hoping he doesn't. Nothing against Izzy, I am a bigger fan of Robert is all.

My bad, my bad lol.

I did forget about him, but if we look at the list you posted, I don't know if it's as good as others, but you know what, it does look pretty good, I don't think he fought Jared but, you know it's pretty good.

Rob/Romero//Vettori/Brunson(Kelvin)/Costa

I'd think it's not as good as some guys' lists, but maybe if you compare him to guys like Cruz

 

[JustOnce]

@Dreyga2000 I will add Izzy to the discussion in my first post, alongside with guys I forgot at first.

I mean, it's a pretty good list of wins, for sure, not as strong as some, but still, it's a pretty good list.

 

[JustOnce]

So, I added Izzy to the discussion, I mean in hindsight, a great point, he does have a pretty good list of wins. He at least deserves a mention alongside new guys like Khabib, Volkv, Holloway.

Haters gonna hate. So sad...

His best win by a long, long shot is Robert and I don’t feel Rob even showed up for that fight. Excited to see it again and feel satisfied with the result

This list shows though that doing this is based on circumstance too.

He may never fight Jared,and that shouldnt really take away anything from him though. I hope Jared does get the shot though.

Props to Izzy doing his thing, but damn that list is lackluster.
*Excluding Bobby Knucks.
No wonder he was laying the seed for Till so early.
