Israel Adesanya knocked opponent down four times in brutal war to win first UFC title
Adesanya faces the prospect of losing three fights in a row with a defeat at UFC Saudi Arabia on February 1. He comes up against No. 5-ranked middleweight Nassourdine Imavov. ‘The Sniper’ burst onto the scene with a dominant TKO over Edmen Shahbazyan in 2021 and has only been defeated once since then.
