The last time Adesanya appeared inside the octagon he went against Jared Cannonier at UFC 276. The fight was extremely one sided as Cannonier didn’t do anything which put the champion on the back foot. Izzy had no requirement to take any risk as he controlled the fight from start to end. At the end of five rounds, Izzy was declared the winner via a clear unanimous decision.
In the same card, Sean Strickland fought Alex Pereira in which he knocked Strickland in the first round. This opened up the opportunity for the Brazilian to challenge Izzy for the championship. Pereira and Izzy are old nemesis and the Nigerian had lost to Pereira in a kickboxing bout. Recently, UFC announced that the fight is going to take place at UFC 281 inside the Madison Square Garden on November 12.
After the announcement was made, Izzy took to Twitter in order to make a statement for himself to his fans and followers. He wrote :
” ?? #UFC281
“Vengeance is mine says the lord.”
Brooooo I said the same thing too!!
This ends here. Kill or be killed ⚔️ .”
