Scouting Report: Israel Adesanya via LevPisarsky UFC287
Excellent. Can be taken down only by very skilled, determined wrestlers.Defense/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from the Bottom:Difficult to judge, as he only stays on top if he has an opponent hurt.Adesanya rarely initiates wrestling exchanges, as evidenced by the fact that he attempted only three takedowns in his first 13 appearances in the UFC; he tried four of them in his first encounter with Pereira.
Only former light heavyweight champion—a man who outweighed Adesanya by 20-plus pounds—has managed to keep him on the canvas for a meaningful amount of time. His fantastic wall walk, when combined with his well-versed technique and preternatural athleticism make him nearly impossible to corral. Adesanya can throw up submissions when the situation calls for it but usually only does so as a means to generate space, build a base and get back to his feet.
