Even though the regular trash-talk is obviously present, both fighters hold mutual respect for each other. Each recognizes the sparkling career that the other has to his name, and are more focused on training better than the other than talking.
Adesanya, the undisputed Champion of the Middleweight Division, will be defending his title for the first time. That his first title defense is against the beast of a man Yoel Romero is truly iconic. Israel has fought hard to reach the stage he stands at today. Yet, almost everyone who fights with Romero does not exit the octagon a sound man.
Do you think he will be able to carry on his unbroken streak after his fight with the “Soldier of God“?
