Israel Mobolaji Temitayo Odunayo Oluwafemi Owolabi Adesanya[1] (born 22 July 1989) is a Nigerian-born New Zealand professional mixed martial artist, and former kickboxer and boxer.[9][10] As a mixed martial artist, he is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is the current UFC Middleweight Champion. In kickboxing, he is a former Glory Middleweight Championship title challenger. As of October 25, 2021 he is #3 in the UFC men's pound-for-pound rankings.
Adesanya faced Kelvin Gastelum for the interim UFC Middleweight Championship on 13 April 2019, in the co-main event of UFC 236.[60] He won the back-and-forth fight via unanimous decision.[61] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.[62] The fight was widely regarded as the best fight of the year, earning the nomination from most of the MMA news outlets.[63]
Adesanya then faced Robert Whittaker in a title unification bout on 6 October 2019, headlining UFC 243 for UFC Middleweight Championship.[64] After a knockdown in last second of the first round, Adesanya won the fight via knockout in the second round.[65] This win earned him his fourth Performance of the Night award.[66]
Adesanya next faced three-time UFC title challenger Yoel Romero on March 7, 2020 UFC 248.[67] He won the fight via unanimous decision, defending his title for the first time.[68] Many fans and pundits felt disappointed due to the low activity by both fighters which resulted in a largely uneventful fight in which neither fighter was able to deliver any significant offense.[69][70]
In his next title defense, Adesanya faced fellow undefeated fighter Paulo Costa on 27 September 2020 at UFC 253.[71] This marked the first time two male unbeaten mixed martial artists met in a title fight since 2009.[72] He won the fight via technical knockout in the second round.[73] This win earned him his fifth Performance of the Night award.[74] After the bout, Adesanya's visible right-breast gynecomastia drummed up controversy due to possible PEDs use, though Adesanya claimed it was due to his usage of marijuana.[75][76] Adesanya also caused additional controversy by simulating anal sex on the prone Costa at the end of the fight.[77]
Adesanya moved up a weight class and faced Jan Błachowicz for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship on 6 March 2021, headlining UFC 259.[78] At the weight-ins, Adesanya weighted 200 pounds, five pounds away from the light heavyweight limit.[79] He lost the fight via unanimous decision, marking the first time he has been defeated in mixed martial arts.[80]
Adesanya rematched Marvin Vettori for the UFC Middleweight Championship on June 12, 2021, headlining UFC 263.[81] Adesanya controlled a majority of the fight winning via unanimous decision.[82]
A rematch between Adesanya and Whittaker is scheduled to take February 12, 2022 at UFC 271 for the UFC Middleweight Championship.
