10 Best Pound-For-Pound Fighters Currently In The UFC
4. Israel Adesanya
For entertainment value alone, Israel Adesanya has earned his spot on this list.
Saying that, the fact that he has laid waste to all who have stood before him since debuting in the UFC in early 2018, is probably worth noting, too.
'The Last Stylebender' has become a bonafide UFC superstar. From pretending to pee on the side of the cage one moment to landing one of his sweetly timed straights/kicks whenever it pleases him, Izzy has often been both hilarious and terrifying whenever he's done battle inside of the Octagon.
His unorthodox style of striking combined with his feinting and provoking of his opponents into constantly making mistakes/openings for him to take advantage of has led to some of the best that the Middleweight division has to offer all falling to the new kid on the block.
Anderson Silva, Kelvin Gastelum and Robert Whittaker all tumbled en route to Izzy winning the gold at UFC 243 and the frightening thing is... he only looks as though he's getting better as each fight goes by.
Does a Light Heavyweight or even Heavyweight title beckon in the future? Or maybe even a spot atop this illustrious list? Keep your eyes on the 'Stylebender'...if you can.
