KSI: UFC News: KSI has named former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya as his favorite fighter. The British YouTuber recently connected with UFC’s social media team in London ahead of Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman 3 fight. That said, KSI’s PRIME energy drink is now the official sponsor of UFC.

KSI’s thoughts on UFC, hence cannot be considered just as a fan opinion as he is currently in business with the promotion. When asked about his favorite UFC fighter, KSI didn’t think much to name ‘The Last Stylebender’.

KSI said, “I think for me, it has to be [Israel] Adesanya. I am a big big fan of Adesanya. Just because obviously his fighting but also the stuff around that is interesting. I just love how dynamic. I just love that.”

Israel Adesanya seemed invincible in the UFC middleweight category until he put his championship at stake against Alex Pereira at UFC 281. Pereira knocked the title out of Adesanya as the two are now scheduled to rematch at UFC 287.

It is clear that KSI will be rooting for Israel Adesanya who has now suffered three losses against Alex Pereira in all of combat (Kickboxing-2, MMA-1 ). It remains to be seen whether Adesanya can avenge the loss and become a 2x UFC middleweight champion.

Israel Adesanya was dominating Alex Pereira in their last fight and successfully wobbled his Brazilian opponent after the first round. ‘Izzy’ also looked dominant on the ground.

However, Pereira unloaded a barrage of punches and landed crushing left hooks to stop ‘Izzy’. It remains to be seen whether Adesanya can avenge the loss and become a 2x UFC middleweight champion.
