In a recent upload to his YouTube channel, the former Middleweight King, Israel Adesanya, spoke of a revolution underway in his training regime. It centers around the application of sporting technology in a bid to recapture the inspiration that led him to four consecutive defenses at 185 between 2019 and 2023.
In the mini-documentary, he discusses incorporating performance data and advanced analytics to “optimize himself.” This comes from a fighter who is most often defined by his cerebral approach to the sport, to such an extent that some fans have chalked his losses up to the prioritization of tactics over that killer instinct he displayed in wins against Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa.
