03:05with a fresh gusto and appreciation for the game enter one of the greatest middleweights to ever
03:12the last stylebender former two-time undisputed middleweight champion israel adesanya 17th ufc
03:18appearance and the calling card dc all week fight smart fight fast fight hard and let the rest take
03:26care of itself let the rest take care of itself i mean 17 appearances in six years this guy didn't
03:31show up until fight 2018 that's so many fights and imagine he hasn't been here for over a year
03:38tonight's prep point brought to you by lad brooks the official weight drink partner of the ufc
03:42he's took a year off and still has that many opportunities it's one of the greatest middle
03:46weights you've ever seen inside the octagon he has tremendous striking he's got great counter
03:51wrestling and he is just a star so many people show up to watch israel adesanya this guy has it
03:57man tonight he has an opportunity and there is a lot on the line tonight because he has to get it
04:02done the pressure has never been higher for the last stylebender but he seems up to the challenge
04:08in a fight that has a lot of stake so much at stake looking to take back regain his championship
04:17he says the key for me to have my piece was knowing that even whether i have the belt or
04:22not i'm happy and i'm champion he believes it whether he's got it or not that's the beginning
04:28to reclaiming what he wants well i would argue there was no bigger pressure spot than the one
04:33that he found himself in at ufc 287 when he wrested this middleweight title away from his
04:38rival alex paredes after three combat sports losses against that man he was without answers
04:44for the sean strickland fight last september but with a renewed focus and strength and
04:49conditioning commitment the last stylebender is back and looking to take it out on trick this
04:54duplex c here in perth
05:19foreign
05:49is
06:19foreign
06:21the standard right now at 185 pounds is the fairly newly minted south african champion
06:28still knocks drink is to bless a tremendous kickboxing base tremendous pressure style
06:36leaves the league in willpower cardio he's an undeniable finisher and
06:40dom a lot of people point to his ability to mount mma offense through exhaustion
06:45that's perhaps his greatest asset we'll see how it goes for him title defenses number one he's got
06:49a 90 finish rate and eight of those wins are in the first round by finish nine wins by knockout
06:56that is the guy you want to be facing israel adesanya because adesanya has outclassed everybody
07:01on the feet this is a man that comes from a kickboxing accolade crossing over to mma just
07:06like israel adesanya the difference is you see this man take people down he was able to take
07:10down sean strickland multiple times each round at least once and that's something we haven't seen
07:16done by anybody really can he do that exact same thing to israel adesanya who is also another
07:22person that's proven to be extremely hard to take down is it because of his striking or is it because
07:27of his wrestling defense we don't know but ddp will show you what it is yeah tricky suplex he is
07:34so good man and it's time that people recognize that because he doesn't do things the traditional
07:39way doesn't mean it's wrong he has proven time and time again that he is as good as anybody in
07:44the world the switch stances to his strike the pressure the pace the cardio the belief in self
07:51that allows him to compete at the highest level this man has taken every insult using his motivation
07:59this man has taken every opportunity to uplift not only himself but his entire country and his gym
08:06drake is duplicy believes he's the best in the world but he feels in order to get that
08:10acknowledgement he has to go through indra adesanya tonight he plans to do that now duplicy told us in
08:16our fighter meeting he has always tried to outwork everybody in the gym under the great head coach
08:21mornay visser but once he became the champion he said now it can't happen i can't let anybody

13:17sanya the challenger round one is underway special shorts on both sides black and gold
13:22for adesanya the green for the south african champion duplicity the energy in this place is
13:27crazy man i'm very interested to see how duplicy attacks adesanya we all know that adesanya is a
13:40tremendous counter striker a lot of duplicity's best work is when he is able to blitz he's got
13:48to be careful when you blitz him because of his ability to find shots in the chaos looks like
13:53leg kicks are part of the early plan for duplicity
14:00his left kick is one of his best kicks keep a look on that left
14:03left leg duplicity but he usually throws it from a southpaw stance he hasn't been switching a lot so
14:08far adesanya raises the guard as duplicity advances you can see the explosiveness of duplicity there
14:16it doesn't take much like that look at that just explode but he's got to be very careful
14:22exploding into adesanya that way
14:36is he picking up reads right now down he's just all those veins kind of trying to see
14:41how duplicity is planning to approach the fight
14:44oh good body connection or so it appeared by adesanya now duplicity returns fire
14:53yeah is he's trying to find him mess up the range of duplicity by switching stance and
14:59keeping the feints going it's hard to find random somebody that's doing what is he's doing right now
15:06look how far out he keeps that lead hand
15:08out because he's so long too because he's so long and he's kind of popped that jab on you
15:15whatever you're trying to enter looks as though duplicity has already been cut on the forehead
15:33this is when you when you see duplicity switch to southpaw that's when he's looking for that left
15:37leg nice job by the champion to get that kick to the body as we come up on the midpoint of ground one
15:48the crowd in sydney last year was not necessarily behind izzy against sean strickland
15:53he certainly has the crowd tonight
15:55hold on
16:10that won't be the last takedown attempt we see out of him especially against
16:13izzy and i just thought it was a knee excuse me dom from adesanya that opened up the cut
16:18on the forehead of duplicity
16:29dricas has got to be very careful he almost jumps when he decides to enter
16:34and if i know we'll pick up on that
