Honestly think I&#8217;ll make this easy. I really believe I&#8217;ll make this look easy come July 3rd&#8230; Well, a prediction, I&#8217;ll give you a prediction, it&#8217;s gonna be fun, it&#8217;s gonna be fun. It&#8217;s gonna look a lot like the Costa fight minus the little tap-tap at the end.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-8p23ep3-Zw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adesanya\u2019s last finish was against Paulo Costa at <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> 253. Since then he has secured two unanimous decision wins where \u2018Izzy\u2019 has received a lot of criticism from fans for being a \u2018boring\u2019 and \u2018safe\u2019 fighter. It appears as though this time around \u2018The Last Style Bender\u2019 wants to change that narrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/i-have-bigger-sht-to-do-nate-diaz-teases-a-fight-against-jake-paul-as-he-pleads-the-ufc-for-a-release-once-again\/\">\u201cI Have Bigger Sh*t to Do\u201d-Nate Diaz Teases a Fight Against Jake Paul as He Pleads the UFC for a Release Once Again<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A closer look at Israel Adesanya vs Jared Cannonier\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some time now, Adesanya has been wanting to take on Jared Cannonier. After his win over Costa, \u2018Izzy\u2019 stated that he wanted to face Cannonier if he was able to secure a win over Whittaker, which did not happen. Now that \u2018Killa Gorilla\u2019 is on a two-fight win streak, it makes sense for the UFC to book a fight between the two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-390055 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-7.jpg\" alt=\"Israel Adesanya\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/image01-7-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going into the fight, \u2018Izzy\u2019 will have a three-inch reach advantage but a significant advantage in height. It will be interesting to see what approach \u2018The Last Style Bender\u2019 approaches this time around, since he is chasing the finish. Will he charge forward and catch Cannonier, or will he wait back and catch Cannonier on the way in?
