The middleweight champion doesn’t shy from speaking his mind and he did the same ahead of his UFC 281 middleweight title defense against former nemesis Alex Pereira. When asked about the ‘craziest’ thing he did to cut weight, Israel Adesanya seemed hesitant to reveal the truth. However, the champion looked back to his kickboxing days and shed light on a weight-cutting technique that left many fans baffled.
Israel Adesanya said, “Back in kickboxing, back in the day when I was an amateur when I was really young and had no. I didn’t have the fight dietitian, who is the guy who looks after here with my meals and what not.”
“I didn’t have them on deck, I wasn’t in the UFC. Fu** man. Okay, how do I put this? I busted a n*t to make weight.”
Reporter Taylor Rooks posted the clip of her exclusive interview with Israel Adesanya ahead of UFC 281 on Twitter, sending several fans into a frenzy. Here’s how the fans have reacted to Adesanya’s statements.

UFC 281: Israel Adesanya might face his toughest test in Alex Pereira
Although Israel Adesanya is undefeated in the UFC’s middleweight division, the Nigerian-born fighter has faced defeat on several occasions in his career. Jan Blachowicz handed ’Izzy’ his maiden UFC defeat when the middleweight champion tried to put his hands on the light heavyweight strap at UFC 259.
Adesanya got outclassed for all five rounds as he lost via decision. However, Israel Adesanya’s kickboxing losses to Alex Pereira are considered much worse by several fans. Pereira landed a crisp combination on ‘Izzy’ and left him out old on the canvas several years back. While the two will re-collide under the MMA rules set, it will be interesting to see whether Israel Adesanya can turn the tables at UFC 281 live. Alex Pereira is an A-listed striker and knows what it takes to beat the current middleweight champion. Therefore, the upcoming clash might be the toughest test in Adesanya’s career so far.
