PERTH, Australia – Two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya thinks he has one big thing going for him as he tries to add his name back to the history books.
His experience in the trenches on his way to his first UFC title win, then when he recaptured the belt a second time, is what he’s hoping will be the difference this week ahead of UFC 305 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+), which takes place Saturday at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
“Experience (is the difference),” Adesanya said at Wednesday’s UFC 305 media day. “A lot has happened in the last few months. I’ve had to go through some life sh*t myself. My personal life, on my social media, (I don’t show what I) go through, a lot of life stuff and a lot of soul searching and a lot of, ‘What do I want from this game? What do I want from life? What do I see myself? What do I want my legacy to be?’
