None of this would have actually happened, had Adesanya kept quiet and did not taunt Pereira into taking up MMA

I think he would have done it anyway. Just having a guy who is primarily a striker that you beat twice being a champ there, why not go for it? plus he did both sports for awhile so he still had the KB career if it didnt work out.

The biggest spark to Poatans rocket into greatness was Izzy being a Champ and there being a rivalry. That helped him speed run the early part of his UFC career and get to doing work at the championship level.

The UFC saw the big bucks there. It wound up working out way WAY better than they could have ever dreamed of.

Maybe. But would he have done it early enough. He's already 35 and only has 12 pro MMA fights. I do think Izzy's taunting lit a fire. Hell, hasn't he straight up said as much?
 
Butterfly effect.

It begins like this then you end up with dinosaurs
