Israel Adesanya Says He Was Surprised That Everyone Liked the ‘Jibber Jabbering’

The Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. fight ended with a split draw on November 28, Saturday. UFC Middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, served as an analyst and commentator alongside ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard and Mauro Ranallo in this highly anticipated bout.

The ‘Last Stylebender‘ was seen relishing his time outside the boxing ring. He took to Twitter to give his take on Snoop Dog’s magnetic performance on ‘Gin and Juice, one of his biggest hits to date.

“Snoop Dog killed for the performances last night. A walking legend! C walking legend.” Adesanya tweeted.

When talking about the reactions to his commentary, the ‘Last Stylebender’ admitted,

“I’m surprised y’all liked the jibber jabbering. Was my first time, I learnt a lot and it was hella fun. I’ll get better, maybe I might do it again haha!” 

Israel was stranded in the United States past a few months, and that’s how he was added to the commentary panel for the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. PPV on November 28.

Israel Adesanya to fight Jan Blachowicz for the Light-Heavyweight Title Fight?

The last time Adesanya entered the UFC octagon, he secured a vicious TKO victory over his arch-rival Paulo Costa. Post that fight, the ‘Last Stylebender’ expressed his curiosity to fight Jared Cannonier if he gets past Robert Whittaker. But Cannonier faced a unanimous decision loss to Whittaker at UFC 254 on October 24.

At a post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White confirmed Adesanya is next in line for the recently crowned Light-Heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz. However, there have been no official confirmations made by the promotion.

Adesanya is keen on moving a notch-up to capture his second title in the promotion. If he can do so, he will be the first-ever UFC fighter to hold Middleweight and Light Heavyweight titles simultaneously.

The ‘Last Stylebender’ is currently on a 9 fight win streak. He exhibits a staggering 20-0 pro-MMA record.

Coming into the Blachowicz fight, Adesanya will look to create history by petrifying the ‘Polish Power’ with his dominant striking and standup game.

Can Adesanya continue his supreme run at the Light-Heavyweight too? TKO or a 5-round rally? How will the battle between him & Blachowicz go?
