Two-time UFC Middleweight champion and MMA megastar Israel Adesanya is ready to regain his title against current Champion Dricus Du Plessis today in Australia.
With his mind and body reset after a lengthy layoff, Adesanya is looking to ‘’smoke’’ Dricus Du Plessis and reach new heights of his career. He also details a newfound love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and gave his support to his Jiu Jitsu coach Craig Jones who will be competing in the upcoming CJI event this year.
Speaking to Stake.com, Adesanya said: “My mind and body have been reset and in 10 days I will smoke Dricus Du Plessis
I’m too lethal for ‘’vulnerable’’ Dricus Du Plessis, I will deliver a highlight reel KO!
I need to prove to the doubters that I am still ‘The Israel Adesanya’
This is the longest layoff in my whole fighting career. I kind of got forced into taking a break because my body needed it. Not because of the fights, but the training camps. My mind, body and spirit needed it, and I’m glad I got the break I needed and reset myself,” he reaffirmed myself. Let’s go!’
Continuing, he said,” My team is everything you need. I’m a friendly guy and a lot of the people I connect with feel like they’ve known me for years, but my team are the ones who will always be around me because they understand me. I’ve been here before, I’ve lost before and I know how things change, so for me, the defeat didn’t shake me. You watch this, in 10 days, I’m going to smoke this fool. I’ve been here before, but I’ll play the game a little differently this time.
