Why Anderson Silva Vs. Israel Adesanya Is The Perfect Match-Up
When Silva and Adesanya was confirmed, I was happy that the fight was announced, I was also happy that Silva was retuning to the octagon but since then I’ve realised how much of a perfect match up this is and this is, and this is why.
The fight is legend verse prospect and if the prospect wins; he’ll be in line for a title shot but if the legend wins then he could also get a title shot and despite being a legend already, can really cement his legacy as the greatest of all time.
The fight is also interesting as it’s what UFC is branding ‘a mirror match’ and I couldn’t agree more. The fight is basically 29 year old Anderson Silva fighting 43 year old, Anderson Silva. The striking in this fight should be brilliant as Adesanya is 75-5 in kickboxing. And if anybody know knows Silva, then they should knock what he’s capable of, just look at this picture:

Front face kick. That’s Silva! He is the longest Middleweight champion of all time and was on fire, he overlooked Weidman and paid the price for it. After that, he lost 4 fights - one was originally a win but got overturned as Silva tested positive for drostanolone. Silva will go down as a GOAT of MMA and it’s easy to understand why as he dominated the 2010’s.
This will be a brilliant co main event and it’s either Silva passing the torch to a younger version of himself or Silva having one last run, it’s going to be interesting and a similar clash of styles will be the perfect match up.
