#3 Best: The Stylebender Displays His Talent
At the point when Israel Adesanya satisfied his moniker and styled on Rob Wilkinson in his UFC make a big appearance back in February, it was clear he was a prospect to watch. In any case, at that point he attempted to beat Marvin Vettori and lost a portion of his brilliance.
A ton of that was recovered when he disassembled Brad Tavares in the late spring, however question marks still stuck around the Nigerian-Australian kickboxer going into the previous evening’s show.

No more, however. Adesanya was looked with his hardest test to date – a demonstrated, top-ten positioned veteran in Derek Brunson – and he basically demolished him, making it look simple all the while.
Brunson attempted his takedowns, endeavored to close the separation, however Adesanya was basically on another level and never appeared in trouble for a second.

The most noteworthy thing by a wide margin about ‘The Last Stylebender’ was the manner in which he completed Brunson off. In the wake of harming him with a counter-knee when Brunson shot in for a takedown, as opposed to fiercely swarm on him, Adesanya picked his shots, landed clean blow after clean blow, and in the long run put Brunson down with a lovely right hand.
After the battle, Joe Rogan made reference to precisely what I was thinking myself – that the execution helped him to remember Anderson Silva’s knockout of Chris Leben in 2006.

Regardless of whether Adesanya can achieve the statures that Silva did is hard to state, yet there’s most likely that he is a title contender, and he may be the best striker at 185lbs, as well. Would you be able to envision a battle among him and Robert Whittaker? Amazing.
