One thing you’ll notice about Nigerian-born kickboxer Israel Adesanya is his confidence. “The Last Stylebender” has two impressive Ultimate Fighting Championship wins to back it up.

For the Hawaii native, this is probably another day in the office. For Adesanya, it’s a step toward getting the recognition he feels he deserves. While his record speaks for itself (13-0, 12 KOs), Adesanya still has to make believers out of some.
