I doubt he can go higher than that in the MW division. Monsters are lurking there, Jacare, Weidman, Yoel, Rockhold(maybe going up), even Bisping has a chance to wreck him.
 
Lost me at Bisping, but everyone else you named I agree with.

Bisping is an easy win for Adesanya. Rockhold and Jacare are tough matchups for sure. Weidman is a toss up, could get mousasi’d
 
Only top 5-7 in the world? Is that it?!

What a can!

<{clintugh}>
 
I was impressed by him last night. Even his lay n pray defense was on point.
 
I don't think hes upper tier yet he has holes that a top guy will definitely expose, he certainly has the skills to get there though maybe in a couple of years with the right fights, unfortunately the UFC likes to cash in on hype so he may be thrown into deep waters before he's ready.
 
Give him time. If he truly has a good team, his ground game will develop.

But I agree right now, Romero and Weidman would muscle him to the ground and Jacare would catch him. Rockhold could but would probably get too cocky and get KO'd thinking he has the fight in the bag.
 
Probably will never crack the top 10
 
I honestly don't see him breaking top 10
 
People are saying Vettori won round 1 & 3.

Can't even find highlights.
 
He's learning. Hopefully, he gives jitz priority. In a year he could patch his glaring hole.
 
Adesanya is gonna have a tough time at MW the dudes too small, should goto WW tbh. Not like thats a walk in the park but its less top heavy. That being said he literally tears bisping to pieces. the mans old and tired and theres literally not one place bisping is better than Israel. Weidman is a shot fighter and other than his great wrestling background he gets chewed the fuck up too. Any decent grappler will give this guy hell tho. But he's young and green and has a lot to grow. the fact we even considering him top 5-7 shows what kinda quality the guy has. Let him improve before we put him to deep into the shark tank imo.

for the record he absolutely didnt lol. Id give him round 3 but all he did was lay there and hope for the best. He got chewed up every other second of the fight, anyone saying otherwise is fuckign retarded. I got no dog in this fight but it was pretty fucking brutally obvious.
 
They got time with this guy. Late twenties as a MW is pretty young. No need to rush him
