UFC 248: Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya Preparing for Yoel Romero

February 2, 2020 by

Get ready for a showdown between Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero. The two fighters will headline UFC 248 in Las Vegas on March 7.

When Paulo Costa suffered an injury, it seemed the next step for middleweight champ Israel Adesanya was clear. Adesanya wanted Yoel Romero and Romero certainly seemed to want Adesanya.

Adesanya had previously said the fight was a a done deal for the event on Jan. 6, “The fight’s done. I literally just got to the gym now. I’m about to get some work in. Make no mistake, I’m still putting work in. I’m still getting ready for my second title defense against a veteran in the game, a veteran in the wrestling, a tough motherf—–, the boogeyman of the division, the guy no one calls out — except ‘Stylebender.”

The fight is a modern take on the old-school ideas of what mixed martial arts would look like. Adesanya (18-0) is an accomplished kickboxer who turned his striking skills into an elite MMA career. Undefeated to date, Adesanya has seven wins in the UFC, including a recent three-fight run that saw him defeat the legendary Anderson Silva, win the interim middleweight title in a war with Kelvin Gastelum and knock out Robert Whittaker to become undisputed champion.
