New Zealander Israel Adesanya in a fight with a South African Dricus Du Plessis At the UFC 305 tournament in Australia, a lack of focus ruined him, AMC Fight Nights champion Dmitry Bikrev told .
Adesanya lost to middleweight champion Du Plessis via fourth-round submission on Sunday. Adesanya has suffered three losses in his last four fights. Overall, the 35-year-old Nigerian-born fighter has 24 wins and four losses in his MMA career.
– I really feel sorry for Adesanya – he played the moment, there is no other way to say it. Du Plessis had his chance and he took it – beautiful. But these are fighters on different levels. Adesanya was ruined by the show-off, or he does not take all this seriously anymore. Unfortunately, there are many examples where these games do not lead to anything good, “Bikrev told .
Brazilian UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira wrote on social media after the Du Plessis-Adesanya fight that he was open to moving back up to middleweight for a fight with the South African.
“I don’t think Pereira will go down to middleweight. He’s huge. I think he’ll go up to heavyweight. Now that Pereira fought Khalil Rountree, I don’t see any logic in that. I think the UFC has big plans for Pereira, including in the heavyweight division. But I’m pretty sure he won’t go down to middleweight,” Bikrev added.
