Former UFC champion from New Zealand Israel Adesanya still poses a serious threat despite defeat to South African Dricus Du Plessis at the UFC 305 tournament in Australia, RCC fighter Ilyas Khamzin 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.
— Let’s not forget that Izzy came out to fight after a layoff. The fight itself turned out to be good, and until the fourth round, it seemed to me that Adesanya took the fight. It was clear that Du Plessis was tired, but he moved forward and as soon as the opportunity presented itself, he took it. Adesanya cannot be written off – he has a future in the UFC,” Khamzin told .
