Israel Adesanya, currently owning MMA 20-0 achievements, is being highly appreciated by the MMA community and believes that he will become the next 2-weight champion of UFC. However, Adesanya's training team knows very well that it is not easy to snatch the belt from Bluchowicz and become a champion of two weight classes will not be easy.
In a recent interview, Israel Adesanya's coach, Mr. Eugene Bareman, shared his feelings about the upcoming match with Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259:
“The match against Blachowicz will probably be the most difficult match in Israel's career, better than previous matches. I think Blachowicz is a leap forward compared to any previous opponent of Israel.”
“We are practicing with the idea that we are the lower trusses. In the previous matches, we have built a strategy based on our advantage of height compared to many Middleweight boxers. However, this time we have no advantage. So it will be difficult to eat.”
Israel Adesanya officially became the Middleweight UFC champion in October 2019, when he defeated Robert Whittaker. His last match was before Paulo Costa, who was defeated by him in just two rounds. Coach Bareman also revealed last month that Adesanya was ready for “the last challenge” – moving to MMA in heavy heavy in the future.
If there is a name that appeals to Israel Adesanya in heavy, it is definitely Jon Jones. For a long time, the battle on social networks has sparked their confrontation. The match between Israeli Adesanya and Jon Jones will definitely be an extremely large event for UFC.
