Whittaker chose to exclusively kickbox a kickboxer for some reason. lol
Lol Costa getting bopped.I think Adesanya will have trouble with Costa though.
I don't think Middleweight will have a dominant champ for a few years.
Yeah. Talented as Israel is, I think Costa just walks through him. I do think Costa could own middleweight for awhile.I think Adesanya will have trouble with Costa though.

This is legit the third time I've said this tonight:

Israel's defense is scary (for him.) Hands down, relying on his reflexes. It's gonna cost him one of these days.
100%, Gastelum was close, even Whittaker in 2 rounds had close moments. I mean, Adesanya v Vettori wasn't that long ago either.Israel's defense is scary (for him.) Hands down, relying on his reflexes. It's gonna cost him one of these days.

Gastelum gave Israel a lot of trouble just going straight at him. Costa is a freak. A bigger, stronger, faster Gastelum on steroids.You can't walk through Israel. We just saw what happens when you try. Costa is toast.
Yeah. I agree on the reflexes and his defense. He needs to keep his hands up more.
Costa is a monster physically and so is Romero. Those 2 are going to give Adesanya some trouble since both absorb strikes so much. All 3 fights will be entertaining as fuck and I cannot wait until they square up.
Till not gonna be much if he takes 3 straight losses.100%, Gastelum was close, even Whittaker in 2 rounds had close moments. I mean, Adesanya v Vettori wasn't that long ago either.
Middleweight is blown wide open here. A competitive Top 5 plus Till joining the division next month, exciting future ahead for the division.
The old saying though -- styles make fights. It appears Whittaker handles a banger like Romero better than a sniper like Israel.Not saying Costa isn't a mountain of a challenge for anyone, but you realize that Yoel Romero couldn't do in 10 rounds what Adesanya just did in 5. Minutes. And then again a few minutes later. He touches people and they fall apart. Speed, accuracy and reads like few are capable keeping up with.
Are you using MMA math?Not saying Costa isn't a mountain of a challenge for anyone, but you realize that Yoel Romero couldn't do in 10 rounds what Adesanya just did in 5. Minutes.

I'm excited to see No-weight-cut-Till
Jon knows it would get attention and make money.. he literally has nothing to lose here.

I'm 100% convinced Adesanya only keeps namedropping Jon to keep the idea of a fight in the news cycle, he doesn't want any of that.

That's bad and you should feel bad.
Shame on you.
Adesanya's defensive holes to the rush are there and it's not like he had to fight Yoel or Costa.
I think he will not be able to hurt Costa and will have problems with body shots he throws.

Lol oh no you incorrectly MMAthed me ono.
No, I showed evidence that Adesanya hurts people. Funny coincidence that the dude he just pieced up survived the Romero storm and the dude he's hopefully fighting next also weathered the Romero storm.
And defensive holes? I mean, sure, Silva did too right? You know what rolling with a punch is? Now Bobby Knuckles can put anyone out, even if he's on his backfoot and his opponent is rolling with it/pulling away from the strike. Costa can, too. But if you think Adesanya was just reacting to Whittaker's rushes and got lucky, and wasn'treading Whittaker and setting up the finish you got some studying to do.
All that said, I give Stylebender 60, Juice Head 40. Adesanya up to 80% if it makes it to the third. 95% if it gets to the fourth. :P
Why does Jon do anything?OK? And Adesanya is just responding to it. Why would Jon call out someone out from a lower weight class and have his fans act as if Adesanya is scared of jumping up?
