‘Sacrifices for the Greater Good’- Israel Adesanya Shows Off His Intense Training Routine for UFC 271

UFC 271 is now closer than ever, as January is almost over. The middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, is all set to make a comeback against ‘The reaper’, in the main event of the night. 

Both fighters put in blood, sweat, and tears at the training camp to make sure they perform their level best on the big day. Recently, ‘The Last Stylebender’ gave the fans a glimpse of what was going on behind the scene for the training camp for UFC 271. 

The fighter uploaded the clip on his official YouTube channel, where he stays quite active. 

In the clip, we can see Israel Adesanya training hard, day in and day out, for his upcoming title defense. The Nigerian- Kiwi fighter trains at City Kickboxing in New Zealand.

Adesanya expressed his opinions on the lifestyle that fighters like him maintain, as well as the sacrifices and compromises that accompany his profession.

He said,” Being all around the world, having fights in January, having fights in February. Yeah, it’s not new to me to give up Christmas, give up New Year’s, that’s life, that’s what it is, that’s life sacrifices.

Israel added,” Because when I’m done with this game, and I have my family, then I can have all the Christmases and all that other stuff. But right now, it’s just sacrifices for the greater good.”

Israel Adesanya vs Robert Whittaker: Prediction

UFC 271 is one of the most anticipated cards of recent times. The event will take place on the 12th of February at the Toyota Center, Houston, Texas. The middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, will make his fourth title defense against Robert Whittaker. 

Whittaker will look for revenge after his last loss to Adesanya at UFC 243. Both fighters have come a long way since then and are currently at the peak of their careers. 

The fight can go Adesanya’s way just like before if Whittaker is not patient and technical with his striking. Adesanya is the more technical striker between the two but Whittaker does pack a powerful punch which, if he connects well, can knock the champion out.

Overall, the Kiwi is a far better fighter right now than Whittaker. If the Australian doesn’t come in with a creative plan to take Adesanya down, there is no chance of him getting his hand raised.
