After claiming the full ownership of the UFC middleweight division, Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya, will step inside the Octagon to defend his belt and his undefeated stature against Yoel “Soldier of God” Romero in the main event. The current middleweight champion, Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya, sports a perfect 18-0 record in MMA, including seven wins in the UFC.
Israel Adesanya won the interim title of the middleweight division by beating Kelvin Gastelum in the best fight of 2019 at UFC 236 in April and then became the undisputed champion by knocking out the division’s best, Robert Whittaker, in a dominant performance last October at UFC 243.
Many critics think Yoel “Soldier of God” Romero should not be the guy who deserves to stand in the Octagon against Adesanya this weekend but with Paulo Costa side-lined and Robert Whittaker beaten in October, Romero is clearly the most established, most dangerous opponent Adesanya could face in his first title defence.
