Israel Adesanya is looking to put on a show against Jared Cannonier at UFC 276, promising to make his fifth middleweight title defense “look easy”.
Adesanya, 32, will take on Cannonier during International Fight Week in July and will look to secure his first finish since he defeated Paulo Costa via second-round TKO in Sept. 2020.
“UFC 276, I’m gonna make it look easy,” Adesanya posted as a caption for a DM between him and City Kickboxing teammate Brad Riddell.
Adesanya will enter the contest as a considerable favorite, but ‘The Last Stylebender’ must be careful not to underestimate Cannonier as the matchup approaches.
