Isreal Adesanya vs Jared Cannonier
Israel has been reserved in some of his remarks, while Cannonier has not. He had some fascinating things to say regarding the upcoming fight between the two in a recent interview.
“All I know is that it’s going to be highly competitive, without giving away too much of my game plan.” More competitive than any of his previous fights in the octagon. I’m confident that it will be the same for me.
“But I’m going to anticipate less, just answering any of the questions he’ll throw at me with ferocity, and I don’t know, any of those nice phrases we can throw in there, but I feel like he’ll have to adjust his strategy, that’s for sure.” He’s not going to style-bending in there because I’m going to neutralize his game and impose minds with any and everybody.”
