No, Israel Adesanya is not in this top spot because he delivered another highlight reel knockout over one of the greatest fighters of all-time. Instead, he won a deserved decision over Anderson Silva in what was a tougher than expected bout for “The Last Stylebender.” And hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. Adesanya is still just 16 bouts into his MMA career and is only entering his second year as a member of the UFC roster. But the reason why he’s here is that his win over “The Spider” puts him in the title conversation at 185 pounds, and if you don’t want to see what happens when he challenges for the belt, you’re reading the wrong website.
