Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya has dropped a brutally candid statement on facing Jared Cannonier at UFC 276, The middleweight champion has said that he will make it look easy against the dangerous Cannonier!
Israel Adesanya is set to face Jared “The Killa Gorilla” Cannonier at UFC 276! Jared Cannonier is currently number #2 in the UFC middleweight rankings. Cannonier has only lost one fight at middleweight, that too against former middleweight champion Robert “The Reaper” Whittaker.
This was an impressive feat by Cannonier, as he had an average record at both heavyweight and light heavyweight. But moving down to middleweight has worked wonders for Cannonier. He finally has his shot at Adesanya’s belt, which seemed impossible after Robert Whittaker broke his ulna in their fight and jabbed Jared’s face to a pulp in just three rounds.
Israel Adesanya revealed a few days ago on Mike Tyson’s podcast “Hotboxin’ w/ Mike Tyson” that he told Cannonier before the Derek Brunson fight to “Finish this guy, so I can get some new blood”. Adesanya was referring to the fact he fought and defeated Brunson and all the other top middleweights in his division except Cannonier.

Adesanya posted a screenshot of a conversation between himself and his teammate Brad “Quake” Riddell. They were apparently talking about Adesanya’s preparation for Jared Cannonier in the upcoming UFC 276 which will be held in July 2022.
Adesanya is well prepared to face Cannonier and cannot afford to slip up against the terrifying knockout power of the Killa Gorilla!
