Israel Adesanya vows to ‘stick with’ the small team that got him ‘to the dance’

One of the more anticipated marque match-ups at this weekend’s UFC 230 PPV pits 6th ranked middleweight Derek Brunson (18-6) against the fast-rising Israel Adesanya (14-0). The event, which takes place at Madison Square Garden, is the first pay-per-view slot for Adesanya, who impressed last time out by beating up Brad Tavares at the The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.

Submission Radio caught up with Adesanya and spoke with the Nigerian-born New Zealander about his forthcoming fight. You can check that out in the video above.

One line of questioning for Adesanya was about the middleweight-tournament feeling that has been ascribed to UFC 230.
