Adesanya Loses His Next Fight

Don’t let the title of the article confuse you; without question, I feel that the man known as Israel “Stylebender” Adesanya will likely take a loss in his next outing if somethings are immediately addressed. No, I don’t wish him any bad luck and I truly admire him for daring to be great but, that move to 205lbs may prove to be residually ineffective.
For starters, it shook the foundation as well as mental strength of guy many perceived as an unshakable man – a UFC champion at that. Ironically, it would have been easier to process this loss if he was KO’d in the second frame or something like that however, that lengthy 25 minute loss tarnished his luster. The worst part of the entire ordeal is that Blachowicz smoothly gave future “Stylebender” opponents a clear blueprint on how to beat him: chain wrestling and top control.
The way the Nigeria-born warrior was dominated at UFC 259 by reigning light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz in the main event leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind on how to handle the dynamic striker’s usually effective arsenal. By pushing the pace and closing the distance Jan shut down those great Adesanya counters walking him down behind crisp punches and leg kicks to the midsection. The jazzy jab Jan jousted with that evening was perfectly placed, streaking across the sky towards Israel’s neck and chest. The thudding knees or leg kicks that the Polish powerhouse lead then countered with were also stellar as they crashed unto Adensanya’s lower body putting him in a box. And, the icing on the cake was that by making him react it left him just upright enough to get chest to chest, fish for a single, double or high crotch takedown then plant the previously unbeaten fighter on his back.
Wasn’t it strange to see how blatant deficient Adesanya is fighting out of his guard? You saw little to no submission attacks, sweeps, hip escapes or reversals. The man with the “Broken Native” tattoo on his chest was indeed broken as his best defense was a body lock to prevent damage on the mat.
Is there a twist to the story? Sure there is. Ask any Battle MMA fan if they agree with the above and they’ll likely give you a resounding, “yes”. Nevertheless, they’ll all deep down hope that Israel Adensanya reinvents himself like Francis Ngannou did after his first loss and becomes the best version possible due to that initial defeat. As Udai Yadla once said, “failure is the greatest teacher”, let’s just hope UFC 185lbs Adesanya was listening.

Vlad & Kadyrov, you filthy communist pigs. I don’t ever wanna see your disgusting names on this blog again. This is ‘Merica. Hoorah!!! I have an artillery ready to go. I”LL PRESS THAT BUTTON!!!!
Oh no Vlad , too much vodka in system? Khabib scared of Khamzat that’s why he leave. Chechnya no drama show from nobody. WE make the rules, EVERYONE follows them.
Listen brother. This is number 1 bullshit khabib is best of all time . That clef lip Rat fuck smeshes no body. Be careful my friend or Chechnya will have big time drama show.
All of you guys are crazy. Khamzat will smesh skinny boy Izzy, Fat amigo Kelvin and Guinea boy Vettori. Khamzat will dominate 170 & 185 like Kadyrov does Chechnya!!!! #SendLocation
Listen brother. This is number 1 bullshit khabib is best of all time . That clef lip Rat fuck smeshes no body. Be careful my friend or Chechnya will have big time drama show.
Vettori has got that big dick warrior energy. He is gonna win a decision via wrestlefuckin Israel no like Palestinesanya. Jan showed the way.
You must have taken that big dick to the eye because you blind and dumb as rocks. Izzy gonna rape him like he did Costa
Sanka, I am not drunk yet amigo. But it seems like you are because you can’t see facts. Kelvin gave Izzy his toughest fight to date. But I might take a shot or 10 now after reading your stupid comments pendejo.
I’d say Jan was his toughest fight to date and facts? a unanimous decision with a 10-8 5th round from all three judges says izzy whipped that ass. I like Kevin but izzy took that Chon Chon like Popeye.
Izzy might’ve lost to Jan but he was never in any serious trouble . Gastelum pushed Stylebender to the point of him saying he’s willing to meet La Muerte in order to beat Kelvin!
???????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Italian Power all day baby ???????? ! Vettori is gonna smoke this guy. I guarantees ya!
Nice one Gino, you’ll be waiving a white flag after Stylebender destroys your boy you wop guinea fuck!
Ha, nice one you yankee, hick fuck. I’ll cook you burnt!
Even your people would be chanting ” Sanka Bomaye” as I finished you.
My boy Kelvin Gastelum will fight Izzy again and finish the job this time! #VivaMexico ????????
Someone help tito he drank the worm again. Mijo it’s only 1:30 you gotta pace yourself before you piss yourself
A guarantee from a Italian that sounds promising. I got a one dollar that says izzy smash Italian boy
Sanka, I’m a two time golden gloves champ straight Brooklyn! I’ll give you some of that Italian American power and sit you on your ass pal. Screw you and your Kumbayas !!
Golden gloves? Sounds like a cute title for your mickey mouse American circle jerks. You would never last in my countries kumites. You would be the CM Punk of the tournament looking for the next cookie to eat.
Ha! Look at this wise guy eh?! The only thing Mickey Mouse here is you, you fuckin rat. And you know what happens to rats eh? They get exterminated like the vermin they are!

FUCK YOU Official Battle Staff!!!! You write, we comment. Go fuck yourself if you try to censor us.
Fair enough Jonny… Comment away folks.
Listen to your girlfriend at battle staff she’s trying to save you from getting slept in front of your 4 fans.
Not unpopular at all, Izzy is DONE!!
Sanka, I know that Izzy looked like shit in his last fight and Vettori steamrolled a fighter with a similar style to Izzy… How can you not think that Vettori will smother Izzy for 25 minutes you simple minded fuck?!
Simple minded? How many kumites have you won because I’ve completed 6 to the finish. I will travel to USA and find you trucker boy
Kumites???? Now you’re talking talking my language Simple Jack!…. your 6 kumites were probably all gohon wins. I don’t play that beginner shit. In my country, I am the Jiyu Kumite champion. Bring it!!
Unpopular opinion: As long as he keeps losing they may not let him do those annoying walkouts.
You guys are forgetting how much of a beast Izzy really is at 185. Definitely an unpopular opinion
Izzy gunna straight smack his next opponent . Italian boy ain’t got a chance!!
I don’t see Izzy losing at 185 either . He has been winning there . Didn’t like to see against Jan .He should stay where he is the king ????
If Izzy loses, I’ll cut my left testicle off.
Joey D, get the numbing meds ready. Izzy will get smoked against Vettori.
Izzy too big of a star he’s gonna lose his way to decision wins like Jon Jones
Jonny I don’t think your supposed to drink the bong water you high as hell. I got a buck says izzy sleeps dude before the 3rd round
Todd P, maybe you missed the fight where Vettori showed his all around skills against a gangster striker and smothered Holland on the ground. You might have also missed the Izzy fight where he looked like a fish out of water on the ground. Again, Joey D better numb those balls because the left one is getting cut off!
Shit I’m a 5’2 110lb noodle who never wrestled and i could hold down holland. You’re gonna have to come with some better heat then that.
Popular opinion: Jonny needs to stick to milking truckers for quarters because he doesn’t know fighting for shit.
Sanka, I know that Izzy looked like shit in his last fight and Vettori steamrolled a fighter with a similar style to Izzy… How can you not think that Vettori will smother Izzy for 25 minutes you simple minded fuck?!
I don’t know what you guys are smoking, no way adesanya loses at 185!
