“He’s Just Broken” – Joe Rogan Reacts to Israel Adesanya’s Mindset Before UFC 287

UFC 287 is just hours away, where Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira will lock horns for the fourth time. The two longtime rivals are coming face-to-face in the UFC octagon for the second time. From the social media posts, it is understood that both fighters are working from their fingers to their bones to emerge victorious in the clash. However, the 55-year-old UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, feels that Adesanya is taking a huge risk by fighting against ‘Poatan’ once again. The UFC bantamweight Cory Sandhagen also thinks the same.

Both Rogan and Sandhagen were talking in the podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. The UFC commentator, who is known to share his opinions on MMA, detailed why he feels Adesanya is preparing so hard to win the bout. Undoubtedly, if ‘The Last Stylebender ‘ loses the bout, he won’t be able to compete for a title shot anytime soon. Hence, it is indeed Adesanya’s career that he is keeping at stake.

The UFC commentator and the bantamweight were talking in JRE MMA Show #138. The two talked a lot about their common interest, MMA. Sandhagen detailed the various sources from which he has drawn inspiration for every fight. He also mentioned that Adesanya is a great inspiration for any surging fighter, as he is ready to take any risks in the sport. ‘The Sandman’ said, “Israel taking on Pereira, this week like, how inspiring man, like, the guys lost to him three times and he’s like, he knows, man, like, he knows that if he loses again, like, he’s probably not going to fight for a title for a little bit. That sh*t’s inspiring, dude. Like how much higher can the stakes get?” 

As an answer to the 30-year-old’s question, Rogan answered, “Can’t get any higher” Rogan added, “He is got his own channel. I think it’s called Freestyle Bender, and he puts up all these videos all the s*it that they’re doing and this motherfucker is going so hard. He’s going. So you can see he’s just broken at the end of some of these sessions and training sessions and it’s just he’s going as hard as he possibly can with this mindset that there’s a way to conquer this guy. There’s a way to beat this guy and I’m so f*cking pumped. I can’t imagine. It’s two fucking days away.“
