Israel Adesanya Unlikely to Fight Dan Hooker, Shifts Focus to MMA Heavyweight Debut
Adesanya Open to Career Change
Israel Adesanya, a Nigerian-born New Zealand professional mixed martial artist, is currently ranked #2 in the UFC middleweight rankings. He has expressed interest in moving up to the heavyweight division and challenging for the title.
Adesanya has been dominant in the middleweight division, winning 23 of his 25 fights. However, he has yet to face a heavyweight opponent. A move to heavyweight would be a significant challenge for Adesanya, as he would be giving up a significant size and strength advantage to his opponents.
Hooker Calls Out Adesanya
Dan Hooker, a New Zealand professional mixed martial artist, has called out Adesanya for a fight. Hooker is currently ranked #6 in the UFC lightweight rankings. He is known for his aggressive fighting style and his willingness to take on anyone, regardless of their size or ranking.
Adesanya has not yet responded to Hooker's call out. However, it is unlikely that he will accept the fight. Adesanya is currently focused on his move to heavyweight, and a fight with Hooker would not be in his best interests.
Adesanya's Future in the UFC
Adesanya is one of the most talented and exciting fighters in the UFC. He has the potential to be a champion in multiple weight classes. However, it is unclear what his future holds. If he is successful in his move to heavyweight, he could become one of the greatest fighters in UFC history.
However, if he is unsuccessful, it could damage his legacy. Only time will tell what the future holds for Israel Adesanya.
