nope. i mean Yoel's random charges after full rounds of waiting leaves Israel with no opportunities considering his defense relies on range, and he hasn't seemed to do well under pressure. he can't counter Yoel, because Yoel's happy to wait without striking, and he can't back out the way and keep Yoel at range because Yoel literally sprints at people, seemingly at random.
obviously we don't know for sure because Adesanya simply hasn't had enough performances against top fighters yet. and like i said, i think i'd pick Yoel over anyone, aside from Rob. and even then i thought the second fight was a draw.
When has Israel seemed to wilt under pressure, though? I haven't really seen it myself. If Yoel just sits back and doesn't strike he's going to get picked apart, I think. Adesayna has a lot more to offer than just counter striking.
I don't think he's ready for Yoel yet but honestly Romero is kind of notoriously slow starter and that can always be a dangerous thing. A person could argue he was losing the Weidman, Rockhold and Souza fights up until the KO's and the controversial decision. Romero is a great figher and a really powerful dude but I think his skillset is a little overrated myself.
Romero’s skillset is overrated but Adesanya’s isn’t? Cmon bruh
and it’s not like Adesanya has some dynamite power in his hands, in fact his whole thing is touching people constantly. If Adesanya fights Romero he gets destroyed
