Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz are just a day away from their high-voltage clash at UFC 259. Adesanya will be making his light-heavyweight debut against Blachowicz, who will be defending his title for the very first time.

With the pre-fight conference done and dusted, it was time for the weigh-ins, as both the fighters successfully made weight, with Israel Adesanya coming in at 200.5 pounds and Jan Blachowicz coming in at the maximum allowed limit – 205 pounds. The goofy Israel Adesanya made his weigh-in memorable by posing with a box of pizza!

Israel Adesanya will be hoping that his unbeaten run stays intact, against an opponent whom he feels is more powerful and longer than any other opponents he has faced before. But, the 20-0, Nigerian-born New Zealander is always up for bigger and greater challenges, which was the reason why he took up the fight without any hesitation. He is coming off a victory against Paulo Costa at UFC 253, which saw him reign as the undisputed king of the middleweight division.

Jan Blachowicz, on the other hand, will be backing his ‘Polish Power’ and his new found form to counter the diverse Israel Adesanya. He clinched the light-heavyweight title at UFC 253 against Dominick Reyes with a devastating punch, the same day Israel Adesanya beat Paulo Costa.

With the weigh-ins completed, it is now time for the ultimate showdown! Who do you think will come up trumps? Will it be an Izzy show all the way? Or can the powerful Pole play spoilsport to Adesanya’s plans?
