Israel Adesanya Unsuccessful In His Bid For "Double Champ" Status
4 years agoThough he is no longer undefeated as a professional mixed martial artist, Israel Adesanya (20-1) has nothing to be ashamed of, suffering a unanimous decision loss to the much bigger opponent, light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. Still, the UFC's middleweight champion, Adesanya landed 78 significant strikes (99 total strikes) along with only stuffing two of Blachowicz's five takedown tries. As soon as Adesanya returns to the middleweight ranks, he will be just as dominant as he was before stepping up to try for the light heavyweight crown.
