While Jordan is an actor by profession, he could have combat sports experience. He was a part of the 7th installment of the Rocky franchise, Creed.

He played the role of Adonis Creed in the movie and starred alongside Sylvester Stallone. So, a reply from the other side coming soon can’t be ruled out.

How has Israel Adesanya been doing lately?

Adesanya’s (20-1) dream of becoming a 2-division champion hit rock bottom after his loss against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259. Although, he hasn’t lost everything. He is still the man to beat in the middleweight division.

He will defend his crown against Marvin Vettori at UFC 263 in a rematch from 2018, where he recorded a win by way of split decision.

Robert Whittaker was deemed as the next challenger for Adesanya, but the former recently fought at UFC 261 and Adesanya wanted a fight in June. So it wasn’t possible for UFC 263, but it’s almost certain that he will fight the winner between Adesanya and Vettori.

Adesanya is surely one of the best in the business. It will take a herculean effort from Vettori to capture the gold from him. Can Vettori stop Adesanya this time around?
