Cool signing. But this card needs 1 or 2 big fights to even consider ordering it

Super excited to see Israel sign with the ufc. Probably one of the most entertaining strikers out there. For anyone who has never seen him fight, look up his fight against Melvin Guillard. Not too many people in the ufc can hang with this guy on the feet.

good signing. any one have any clue on his wrestling abilities ?

I swear I just saw this guy fight in Glory kickboxing this year. Now that he's in the UFC he will have to abandon the KB track. Either way, cool, I saw that head kick KO last month time and time again on highlight reels and posts. 11 for 11 with 11 knockouts, I'm game.

He is awesome for sure but that fight against Melvin shouldn't have even been allowed to take place. Great signing still obviously

Very skilled kickboxer, I saw some of his glory fights. I want to see how ground game tested as any high level striker that makes their way to the UFC. He's big though. Looks promising.

Melvin Guillard shouldn't be sanctioned to fight anyone in 2017 let alone a killer of a striker like Adesanya. WTF was Melvin thinking? He fought at 155 his entire career and decided to say, "fuck it, I'll fight this world class kickboxer at 185. What's the worst that can happen?"

Yeah he whooped Melvin bad. Those kicks to the body on the ground were brutal.

Debuting highly touted MW kickboxer? The way the UFC has been matchmaking lately, I expect them to make him fight Johny if he beats other Razor Rob.

And Melvin had been brutally knocked out not even 2 months before that
