Israel Adesanya's Record: Adesanya Faces Cannonier at UFC 276 to Affirm Middleweight Dominance
Israel Adesanya's Record: Adesanya Faces Cannonier at UFC 276 to Affirm Middleweight Dominance
As Israel Adesanya heads into UFC 276, he still just has that one blemish on an otherwise perfect career. As we get ready for Saturday's UFC 276 main event against Jared Cannonier, Isreal Adesanya's record sits at an impressive 22-1.
After looking unbeatable for so much of his career, it was a step up in weight to face then light heavyweight champ Jan Blachowicz that gave Israel Adesanya's record its first ever loss.
He has since avenged those losses with wins over Marvin Vettori and Robert Whittaker, but Saturday's test at UFC 276, Jared Cannonier, should not be taken lightly.
If Israel Adesanya wants to keep his record at 22-1 and his spot among the best pound-four-pound fighters in the world, he'll have to take down a hungry Cannonier in the UFC 276 main event on Saturday.

Israel Adesanya's Record
As mentioned before, Israel Adesanya comes into UFC 276 holding a 22-1 record. His lone defeat came at the hands of Jan Blachowicz as he attempted to become the champion at two different weight classes.
Adesanya has tormented the Middleweight division for three straight years. Adesanya won the belt in 2019 against Kelvin Gastellum and hasn't looked back since. He's defended his title an amazing six straight times and has put down every top contender sent his way.
However, Israel Adesanya's record is missing a win over one name in particular, Jared Cannonier.
For a while, Cannonier was competing at light heavyweight. But, a drop to middleweight seems to have given the 38-year old another life in his UFC career.
Will Israel Adesanya's record improve to 23-1 this weekend or will Cannonier be the first middleweight to ever defeat The Last Sylebender?
