Adesanya beat Pereira last time out because Pereira got reckless and acted a fool considering his mind is on murdering Izzy at all times of the day ever day. It cost him, no doubt about it, but as a fighter, I legitimately think Poatan ****s all over Adesanya. The Strickland fight comparison between the two, the Jan fight comparison between the two. Pereira is just a better, more complete fighter.
Israel Adesanya as MW champ was a net-negative for the most part. He has underwhelmed relatively consistently and he's proven to be almost always entirely missable in terms of fight quality as well. He took MW, a division that was consistently praised, and led it into being one of the worst divisions in the UFC alongside HW and LHW. He still fights like he's a kickboxing world champion but the regression in those kickboxing skills is super obvious and it's ******* bizarre tbh. And despite his kickboxing getting noticeably worse, fight after fight, he's hardly improved any other aspect of his game outside of takedown defense.
He's been champion for years and the most memorable part of his run will be him getting dropped by SEAN STRICKLAND - a guy who, before tonight - was considered by just about everybody to be one of the most mid title contenders in UFC history. It's embarrassing. I think Du Plessis would've finished Izzy had that fight happened instead and I think Strickland/Du Plessis is interesting. Shame Adesanya will get a rematch for virtually no reason.

In my opinion Adesanya was a kickboxer who achieved great success as a champion in an era where the level of wrestling/grappling in his division was very low: Literally the 5 best wrestlers in the current Top 15 (Chimaev and Nickal are not ranked fighters in MW) are Whittaker, DDP, Hermansson, Vettori and Brunson and of those 5: Dricus, Rob and Marvin are main strikers, Hermansson is effective in grappling but wrestling acuity isn't a strong point in his game and Brunson has the windmill striking and in general he is very disorderly in his strategies. It also leaves a lot to say that a ''striking genius'' tries the same combination ans strategies over and over again for 5 rounds instead of target more the body during round 3 or 4 or even trying to work in close range with thai clinch as Robbie Lawler when Strickland went to put more pressure during the second half of the fight.

I think Strickland has good chances against Dricus.
