Adesanya is the real deal

[Sapp]

See if he can beat an elite wrestler, then I'm on board. Based on that fight, I don't think he can.

 

[The Witcher]

Im here live and im telling you right now israel is a fan favourite. He lit that boy up

 

[UWanaPlayDaGame]

meh he okay.

 

[Franc Mittelo]

This guy is oozing charisma and talent. I'll admit I was skeptical at first. Still, I think a decent grappler has his number.

Same. A guy like Weidman keeps him grounded. Israel only weighed 183. He is small for the division, and he needs better takedown defense and strength, to avoid getting pinned down.

 

[Verace]

I like him

 

[Son Peyote]

Stop comparing Styles to JBJ

Unlike Jon, Israel can actually box

 

[The Reed]

He's the next big thing, Anderson Silva if he could talk. That was a classic Anderson style fight too, defend the takedown in the first, KO in the second.

 

[BjPenn2017]

He is going to get smashed by the upper level imo but he's going to give us lots of exciting fights I'm sure. I just see to many guys grounding him and beating the hell outta him, his TDD is pretty bad and he built like a MW Neil Magny.

I like his style though, and I'm sure he'll improve some just not sold on him yet. Anders vs Adesanya would be a sick fight.

 

[thebizkit]

Looked very smooth and flowy. Could be a bit on the small side at middleweight, but he's got a ton of potential.

Next Champ CONFIRMED!


And all it took was a TKO victory over ELITE Aussie fighter Rob Wilkinson!

He’s vulnerable to a good grappler. Let’s see where he goes.

Israel Adesanya, where have you been all my life?

Dominant, surgical performance

Great, charismatic promo

Push him to the moon please

 

[Dorch]

I just pissed all over the cage...AWESOME.

Chill bro , I am excited too but this guy just won a fight a fox prelim card. Gonna need to more than that to become a star

decorated kick boxing record, including a glory title fight which he arguably won. 12-0 all by stoppage in mma. get on the hypetrain!

 

[Matthew Fedler]

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

He’s got some work to do in the grappling department if he wants to be a top contender. Provided he keeps working on that though he has almost limitless potential.

Hopefully they don’t rush him.

Yep agreed.

He got tested early here. Yoel and the top guys would get him to the floor. If he can fight that off, he may get that strap.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

He’s vulnerable to a good grappler. Let’s see where he goes.

Agreed.


HUGE question marks when an Aussie Tier grappler like Rob Wilkinson can take you down.


I think he looks like a less explosive version of Marc Diakiese but like you said, let’s wait and see.

 

[MEAN357]

He didnt let me down with the grappling test so far, awesome performance and hilarious on the mic. Can't wait to see this guy develop

Except Isreal can actually box and is a genuine prospect
