Few fighters in MMA have had the same kind of meteoric rise as Israel Adesanya. “The Last Stylebender” made his UFC debut last year and has since rattled off six straight wins and captured the interim middleweight title. This weekend, Adesanya will look to unify his interim belt with Robert Whittaker’s undisputed title at UFC 243, and then after that, Adesanya says he’s coming for another title, the title of biggest star in MMA.
In an interview with Submission Radio, Adesanya and his coach Eugene Bareman discusses what the future holds for Adesanya and both of them believe he’s about to become the biggest star in the sport, even bigger than Conor McGregor.
