What Happened To Israel Adesanya?

[Black9]

Stoppage was a little early.. but what happened..

Age? Chin? Or did his style get figured out?

 

[NextGen]

He is not as quick or athletic as he once was. Reflexes slower and more prone to getting hit.

 

[Patof]

Age and a long career maybe?

 

[J'Ghasta]

He got figured out since Strickland

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Father time is undefeated

Age. He has alot of fights under his belt.

I don't think speed or athleticism had anything to do with it. He neither saw nor anticipated that punch. Wasn't ready for it at all.

 

[Bubzeh]

Hunger has gone.

 

[Bork Neslar]

He just got caugh. It happens.

 

[mister piscadinha]

ddp destroyed his chin and age his reflexes

 

[surgeyou1]

Fast twitch has become slow twitch. Can't move out of the way like he used to

 

[TM C]

He's 35

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

bro I don't understand this, he was swinging with pereira for 5 rounds and looked great his whole career and now he gets dropped by imavov and strickland who don't even hit that hard and seems slower and stiffer. I don't even like izzy but it sucks to see him be another victim of the sport and just fall off a cliff randomly

 

[UppercutFromHades]

Age. Wear n tear. Time to walk away. His decline is not going to halt.

 

[Gilday]

Pereira broke him. Made him insecure about his chin, now he tried to have his own Pereira moment... and it fucked him

 

[Humongo]

he was never good

 

[BigGucciSosa]

Eyepoke

 

[ricains_cretins]

Dricus Africanus happened to adesanya. Simple.

 

[tritestill]

He's older and slower, nothing out the norm.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Izzy's cooked.
