Did you know that Israel Adesanya has conquered the top five fighters in his division? Yes, ‘Izzy’s prodigious reign in the middleweight division has, many a time, earned him immense praise from peers and rivals alike. Now,  ‘Notorius’ fan Sean O’Malley has anointed himself as a fan of the ‘Stylebender’. ‘Suga’ believes Adesanya’s dominance surpasses that of Khabib Nurmagomedov at lightweight and is on par with the likes of #1 P4P Jon Jones and featherweight icon Alexander Volkanovski.

Last year, the ‘Stylebender’ suffered a major upset loss to Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira, and lost his title. However, Adesanya redeemed himself when he faced Pereira again at UFC 287.  The Stylebender totally dismantled the Poatan. Assuring a spectacular victory with a brutal KO in the second round – the Kiwi claimed his Middleweight belt back. Now, after months of ‘Izzy’s comeback, ‘Suga’ has stirred the pot with his compliments.

Sean O’Malley is all praises for Middleweight star Israel Adesanya

In a recent Youtube video, Suga Sean took his time to praise ‘Izzy.’ Though a big Conor fan himself, Sean has a keen eye for greatness. O’Malley admitted that Jon Jones remains untouched as the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC. But he also pointed out that it has been a long time since someone has truly dominated their own weight class.

The American MMA artist kicked off the discussion, saying – “Adesanya has beaten every single middleweight in the top five currently. That’s gangster – that is f**king gangster!” 

The fact that Adesanya faced and defeated the toughest challengers in the division proves his exceptional skill and mettle. While ‘Suga’ was startled, and his brother jumped in adding, “Because, it’s like – there are no slouches in that top five. That is a tough division.”

Sean argued, “How long has it been since someone took over the game that long? Took over a division that long? Khabib didn’t really do it. Like he was a champ – he’s interim – this that – and then he retired…”
