Israel Adesanya back in training camp for next fight

Former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is back in training camp preparing for his next fight.

Former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is preparing for his next fight.  “The Last Stylebender” is back in training camp.

Adesanya is coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in his 12-year mixed martial arts career.  He was defeated by current titleholder Dricus du Plessis in August after losing the title to Sean Strickland in his previous outing.

Adesanya released a video to his YouTube channel showing him back in the gym in the early stages of preparation.

“We did Izzy’s testing last week.  We got a pretty good gauge of where he’s at currently in space and time,” said Bill Smart of High Performance Sport.  “We’re weighing up what does he need as an athlete based on his physical profile, what does he need based on the estimated ‘timeframe’ for a fight.”
