Anderson Silva heads into his fight this weekend against rising superstar Israel Adesanya at UFC 234 in Melbourne, Australia as the underdog, with most fans predicting a straightforward victory from “The Last Stylebender.”
At 43 years old, the former middleweight king is well past his prime and is returning to the Octagon after nearly a two-year long layoff after serving a suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for a failed drug test. “The Spider” is taking on a potential future champion in Adesanya who’s transitioned into MMA flawlessly after a successful pro kickboxing career.
