Israel Adesanya is the champ in Mixed Martial Arts, and he’s the current king of the middleweight division.
At UFC 287, The Last Stylebender was back and better than ever. He knocked out Alex Pereira in the second round of the fight, making him a two-time middleweight champion. Even though he has only one win in his Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) series with Alex Pereira, he’s won 3 times when their kickboxing bouts are included. Most importantly, Adesanya took all eight first-place votes from an eight-person panel, elevating him to become the new No 1 Middleweight fighter according to MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings!
MMA Fighting had to decide where they should rank the MMA résumé of Poatan Pereira. The ballots put him as high as 2nd place or as low as 5th, but they ended up putting him 3rd, which was placed right behind Robert Whittaker. Do you think that is a fair decision? Should Poatan have been higher or lower than his current ranking?
