10 Most Charismatic Performers In UFC History
7. Israel Adesanya
Cocksure press conferences, next level unorthodox striking skills and a collection of entrances/celebrations which dwarf any of his contemporaries efforts all solidify Israel Adesanya as one of the brightest stars of his generation...and a bloody charismatic one at that.
From the moment he gave a 'so-so' gesture after dipping, diving, dissecting and finally dispatching Rob Wilkinson at UFC 221, fans all over the world knew that they were witnessing the birth of something special.
Following that performance up with a string of impressive victories over various Middleweight contenders, 'The Last Stylebender' grew more popular by the fight as his brutal honesty - confessing that he was 'not happy' with his split decision win over Marvin Vetorri at UFC on FOX 29 - and flamboyant arsenal in the cage made each of his appearances can't-miss spectacles.
He only appears to be growing in confidence and personality by the day, too. His incredible choreographed dance routine which kicked off his UFC 243 entrance in Australia and hilarious freestyle showdown with Yoel Romero at a press conference before their UFC 248 clash are both examples of Izzy in peak showman mode.
Izzy may be all business inside of the Octagon, but it's his overwhelming individuality outside of it which has made him the company's most recent breakout star.
