Israel Adesanya won’t be adding any muscle mass or gaining weight ahead of his light heavyweight title bout and divisional debut against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259, according to City Kickboxing coach Eugene Bareman.
Bareman revealed in a recent interview with 1 News that ‘The Last Stylebender’ will enter the bout at his ‘normal, walk-around weight’ as City Kickboxing believes it will give Adesanya a competitive advantage on fight night.
“We’re not putting on weight. The science of putting on weight and moving up in weight isn’t going to be a factor in this fight because we’ve decided to come in at our normal, walk-around weight,” Bareman said.
