Israel Adesanya see's the future

[NekMinnit]

I've seen him predict fights on numerous occasions and he always seems to get it right. I'm not saying he always gets it right but he really does know his stuff. His latest prediction was Darren Till defeating WB. With his future prediction for The Reaper to beat Yoel again at UFC 225. He also envisioned himself fighting Whittaker at the end of next year in Auckland

Did he predict himself beating Vettori via split decision?

BOOM!! ha ha ha.... i thought he said he would knock him out from memory

 

[HaulParris]

MW is shallow, but Adesanya is not ready for a title shot this year.

 

[PeterGriffin]

Does he see the importance of getting a better wrestling coach and learning to defend takedowns?

He'd get fucking murked by any good wrestler at 185.

He’s Discount Jon Jones.

 

[BigMuffler]

He’s Discount Jon Jones.

More like discount Anderson or MW MVP, Jones' grappling and completeness are vital components of being Jones.

 

[YouKnowWhat?]

Seriously, why is he called Israel when he was born in Nigeria?

 

[GrantB13]

I mean I guess you're still right if you picked Till but after seeing the fight it's nothing to brag about guessing correctly

 

[bambammccoy]

MW is shallow, but Adesanya is not ready for a title shot this year.

Which is why he said end of next year.

 

[MMAfanJabroniJew]

He has a promising future , maybe he'll be ready for a title shot by the end of next year.

 

[Yodsanan]

Seriously, why is he called Israel when he was born in Nigeria?

it's a biblical name, not that special of a name in nigeria.

 

[Adjutant]

He’s Discount Jon Jones.

Hes a Dollar Store, 50% off Jon Jones

He predicted the W

My mistake. Thank You. I hope he rounds out his game so we have a new contender.

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

Whittaker and him would be fun in the future

 

[bambammccoy]

Ah I came off pretty condescending.

I definitely hope he puts it all together without suffering a serious set back. The thirst for fresh blood across most of the divisions is very real to the point where not very exciting fighters like Colby and Usman are getting people excited purely because it's a new face with new threats.

135, 155, 170 seems to be the only weightclasses with more than 1 or 2 young and promising up and comers.

I agree. UFC seems to want instant gratification (in terms of PPV buys / new stars emerging), and is not interested in getting fans interested in emerging stars. When they do have a few new legit contenders (e.g. Rivera and Moraes), they waste them fighting each other while the champion is on the shelf or fighting Cody / chasing Johnson.
