Coming off four consecutive losses, former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has made changes to his training. He left his longtime gym at City Kickboxing for a smaller fight camp tailored specifically for him and he believes it’s going to pay off.
“Training camp’s been awesome,” Adesanya said on his YouTube channel. “I can truly say with my departure from my old gym, CKB, and how building, you know, the team that I have and training specifically for me, this is the best I’ve felt in a very long time. For real. I think this is the best training camp.”
“The Last Stylebender” faces Shara Magomedov at UFC Fight Night 295 on December 5 in Saudi Arabia and is confident that his training changes will show inside the octagon.
“This is the most fun training camp I’ve had in years. That’s going to show on fight night. I’ve been on fight week shape for weeks. My regular fight week shape. I look forward to how I look on fight week this time,” he said.
