UFC 221 may not be a particularly appealing card on paper, but there is one man on the prelims who absolutely should catch your attention.
Middleweight Israel Adesanya is incredibly fun to watch. “The Style Bender” is not just a perfect 12-0 (12 KOs) in MMA, he’s a standout in professional kickboxing, and has a few wins in pro boxing. This is a striker to be feared. Adesanya can knock you out with one shot or string together a lethal combination of punches, kicks, knees, and whatever else he feels like throwing to render another human being unconscious or doubled over in pain.
