Israel Adesanya parents: Oluwafemi Adesanya, Taiwo Adesanya

The UFC middleweight champion would have to defend his title against Jared Cannonier in the main event of UFC 276 on Sunday at T-Mobile Arena.

But, as he enters the next phase of his career, he’s ready to make that star turn. Adesanya had to prove he could defend the takedown for a long time because he was a kickboxer and few people were foolish enough to stand toe-to-toe with him and try to take him down.

However, after brilliant performances defending takedowns in victories over Marvin Vettori and Robert Whittaker, that is now in the past.

And, given his striking ability, he’s a threat to deliver an explosive finish at any time if he didn’t have to spend so much time fending off takedown attempts.

He has no idea how the fight will unfold, but he is certain of one thing: it will not end well for Cannonier.
