Israel Adesanya does not approve of the UFC’s attempts to erase Francis Ngannou’s legacy.
On Saturday, ‘The Last Stylebender’ will make his return to the Octagon in a bid to become a three-time middleweight world champion. Standing in his way will be the division’s reigning king, Dricus Du Plessis, who is primed to bag his first successful defense and take the title back home to South Africa.
Undoubtedly cheering on Adesanya will be former UFC heavyweight champ Ngannou who remains close friends with the ‘Stylebender’ despite walking away from the promotion more than a year ago in search of greener pastures.
