One of the best fighters in the ENTIRE world somehow keeps putting on underwhelming performances. First, it was just for casual fans, but even hardcores are starting to yawn at Adesanya. #ufc276 In a recent video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Bisping backed the middleweight champ, claiming that he is a strategic and technical fighter. 'The Count' opined that Israel Adesanya is "doing the right thing" by approaching his fights tactically and said: "Izzy is getting a bit of flack lately. People saying, "He plays it safe, he's taking it easy, he's not taking any risks, he's not entertaining the fans". That's true you know right. It's not true that he's not entertaining the fans, he's not involved in these crazy slobberknocker, back-and-forth slugfest that have everyone going crazy." 'The Count' added: "He's a technical fighter, he's a strategic fighter, he doesn't take risks. It's the art of hitting and not getting hit. The reality is you want to be able to put a sentence together when you're in your mid-50s or late 40s like I am...He's doing the right thing. He's winning...doing it in an entertaining fashion."
