Israel Adithaya and another light heavyweight

21-1. This is a statistic that has plagued Israel’s Adisaya records. ‘The Last Stylebender’ is one of the most outstanding fighters of his generation, and he broke into the middleweight with relative ease. His batting skills, speed, and ease of switching between left-handed and orthodox positions make his batting exceptionally good.

At UFC 259, Adesaya was painfully close to becoming the latest two-level champion.Unfortunately, for the 31-year-old Jan Blahovic Fighting is too difficult to overcome. Adesanya ate his first defeat at the UFC by a unanimous decision.

Four months later, it may be time to consider why the Adesanya vs. Blachowicz or Teixeira (depending on the progress of UFC 267) title race in 2022 is worth booking.Assuming he was still the middleweight king at that time, here are three reasons Israel Adesanya deserves another crack UFC Lightweight gold:

#3. Adissaya continues to dominate the middleweight division

Although Adesanya’s 20-0 unbeaten record was broken when he rose to light heavyweight, he has now resumed his winning style.In the middleweight, Adissaya is arguably the most dominant fighter in the department since the golden age. Anderson Silva.

Adesaya, who often wins the honors of “Night Battle” and “Night Performance”, actually only almost lost to Jol Romero at UFC 248. Based on his defense of Paul Costa and Marvin Vittori since then, it is safe to say that Romero’s panic was a spot on the middleweight radar.

Assuming “The Last Stylebender” can beat former champion Robert Whittaker again, he might go out to climb the middleweight. With this in mind, it may be time for Adisaya to try again to ensure the double crown glory he failed to win earlier this year.

#2. Adesanya’s recent improvements in octagonal shape

From one fight to another, Adsaya continued to show progress in all aspects of his game. As a natural forward, the “Last Style Bender” will occasionally fail because of his relatively less impressive grapples.

This is particularly evident in UFC 259, where the experienced Blachowicz can beat a taekwondo player. Brahović learned from Adsaya’s difficult but controversial victory over Joel Romero and exposed several flaws in Adsaya’s defensive game. By doing so, “Polish Force” managed to slow him down in most battles.

In the subsequent battle for the UFC 263 Middleweight Championship, Adesaya proved that he has learned his lesson. Vettori is a rock-solid grappler in his own right, and he found Adesanya’s difficult way of trying to improve his batting defense.

If Adesanya continues to follow this path while keeping his amazing abilities at an insanely high level, he may become unstoppable in two weight classes.

#1. This is a money war

Adesanya first set foot in the light and heavyweight arena, which caused controversy in some circles. Many people think that Blajovic’s upcoming challenger, Glover Teixeira, It’s more worthy of Adisaya’s shot earlier this year.

Although it is easy to make an argument for Teixeira, the cold truth of this question is that there is more money in the battle of Adisaya. Although this should not be the main deciding factor here, UFC is still a business. Dana White, like everyone else, saw the dollar sign when making a call.

Over the years, the often outspoken middleweight champion has captured the imagination of fans. His drawing ability may only increase with the teasing of Brahovic’s rematch. Their first conflict resulted in an impressive 800,000 purchases. The long-awaited second matchup is expected to break the million mark.

Perhaps even more tempting is the prospect of Adisaya and Teixeira. If Teixeira can defeat “Polish Power” and complete his long journey of lightweight gold medals, this story illustrates this point. Teixeira, who was initially ignored by Adesanya, did what “The Last Stylebender” could not do, and now he must defend him. Its dramatic potential is almost cinematic.

If it is realized, such a story will scream money.Either way, the lightweight scene will get a big boost in publicity Adsania Try again the championship-championship status.
