MMA isn't kickboxing but a chin is a chin and I don't believe Israel has a great one...that's why he fights so cautiously against 40+ year old men I guess.
I get where you are coming from. Respectfully, I must disagree. You say Adesanya is overhyped but a large part of the reason he is hyped up so much was because how respected he was as a kickboxer.
Most...if not all of skills have transitioned seamlessly. Not taking account of his ten years of high level combat experience seems disingenuous at best, willfully ignorant at worst.
It’s like ignoring DC or CCC Olympic wrestling,Khabib’s sambo, or Wonderboy’s karate. You aren’t really taking in the whole picture
