Israel Adesanya is scheduled to face Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259 for the Light Heavyweight title
The controversy regarding his right pectoral muscle at UFC 253 just doesn’t seem to stop following Israel Adesanya.
The Nigerian-born Kiwi had a flabby right pectoral muscle when he took on Paulo Costa in September 2020.
The incident gained fame after Jon Jones tweeted about it. Adesanya won the fight but was accused of taking steroids before it.
He, of course, denied it. But, Kevin Holland saw fit to bring that incident up again when he was talking about his fight against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259.
Speaking to The Schmo on YouTube, Holland joked that if Adesanya could grow a “second t**” against the Pole, then he could get the job done for the light heavyweight title.
“Well, you know, he grew a t** to beat Paulo Costa. So if he grows a second t**, I for sure think he can get the job done. There’s something about those t*** and Israel, it gives him superpowers, you know.”
What Holland is saying is obviously meant as a joke. Adesanya stated that the UFC 253 incident was because of overdosing on weed.
Jan Blachowicz will defend his light heavyweight belt for the first time as he gears up to face Israel Adesanya
How true that statement is, we will never know. But, if he does manage to grow a second t**, something would be really fishy indeed.
Adesanya is the undisputed champion of the middleweight division. He has a professional record of 20-0-0 and has never been beaten.
Hence, it was expected that he would venture into the light heavyweight division sooner rather than later. And with Blachowicz winning the belt in the 205 lbs weight class, he was quick to pounce.
The fight is going to be a mismatch. It would be speed and agility against pure, brute power. Just what aspect matters on fight night remains to be seen, but whatever the outcome, we can expect fireworks.
