Israel Adesanya Looks To Remain Perfect In Middleweight Division
2 years agoMiddleweight king Israel Adesanya (23-1) will look to remain just that when he faces a personal demon in the form of Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 281 on Saturday. Both meetings between the two in the world of kickboxing have ended with Pereira coming out victorious, including a highlight-reel knockout. In the world of MMA, though, Adesanya has been dominant, posting a 12-1 record, with that lone loss coming to light-heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. DraftKings sees Adesanya as the favorite with a salary of $8,600. Throughout his UFC career, Adesanya averages 83.0 fantasy points per contest. The third time looks to be the charm for the champion as they meet in a whole different world of MMA.
