From his title win through to some amazing knockouts, Israel Adesanya is an iconic figure at this level. However, not every single one of his fights has been a banger, especially at the championship level.

Israel Adesanya on Yoel Romero fight

“I had one of the most exciting fights in the history of the planet [Adesanya vs. Kelvin Gastelum] that’s inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, but I also had one of the most boring fights in the history of the company alongside Yoel Romero,” Adesanya said. “We’re both dangerous men, when he hit me with that zinger, I seen four in front of me, and I thought, ‘OK, he’s going to come in for the kill.’ So whoever comes, if I saw four of them, then it would have been four, then I’d have to pick which one, but he didn’t.”

“He just played the game and yeah, it was a boring fight,” Adesanya said. “But he’s a dangerous man. There’s a reason he didn’t want to come close and there’s a reason I didn’t want to risk again getting hit by that zinger, so yeah, shout out to him.”
