Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia was famously rumored to have worn his championship title belt everywhere he went during his year-long tenure atop the world’s largest MMA promotion. But, it seems not everyone is so attached to the trappings of greatness.
Middleweight title holder Israel Adesanya is all set for the fifth defense of his crown at UFC’s International Fight Week on July 2nd in Las Vegas, NV. There he’ll face power-punching Texan Jared Cannonier in the main event of the UFC 276 PPV event. But, while he might be figuratively ‘defending the belt’ this summer, it doesn’t sound like the ‘Last Stylebender’ is actually all that concerned about the real-world location the object itself.
