Israel Adesanya dismisses talk of staying undefeated
UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya has said played down talks of remaining undefeated after 20 matches unbeaten.
The 31-year-old who is eyeing a step into the light-heavyweight realm said that he’s not keen on maintaining a hundred per cent record in MMA.
According to him, even though he’s a hard man to beat, a defeat won’t change the fighter that he is.
“That’s just one of those things that people try and put on you,” he told MMA Junkie.
“Ive had losses in my past that never really changed who I am, never changed the fact that I’m a great fighter. A lot of the greats have had losses. And every time I’ve had a loss, I always come back and knocked someone out.
“Being undefeated is just a title. It’s one of those titles that people try to hold up like it’s something. But you should see me in the gym. Some days I get my licks, so I know I can be beat.
“But when it’s under the lights and the pressure is on, on the biggest stage and I’m having fun, I’m a hard man to beat. I’m just gonna ride this out the way I’ve been riding it so far. Stay tuned.”
