The UFC middleweight division is in an awkward position. With Israel Adesanya becoming so dominant, the 185-lb. division faces the potential problem of becoming stagnant.
Adesanya’s Problem
Israel Adesanya is one of the most dominant champions in UFC history and is the first man since Anderson Silva to dominate the middleweight division. He has cleared out the middleweight division including twice beating former champ and highly regarded Robert Whittaker, Paulo Costa, Marvin Vettori, Yoel Romero, Derek Brunson and Kelvin Gastelum.
