KUALA LUMPUR - Israel Adesanya is expected to light up the UFC octagon later this morning when he takes on Jan Blachowicz from Poland.

However, Adesanya, who is known for his fighting skills is also expected to face an uphill task as Blachowicz brings strength and raw power to the fight.

"Adesanya may have the speed advantage, but Blachowicz has power and strength on his side.

"I think it will be a war but wouldn't be surprised if Blachowicz goes in for the kill at the start of the fight," Richard "The Notorious" Corminal told The Vibes.

Meanwhile, Murugan "The Wolverine" Silvarajoo, believes predicts that Adesanya will be moving around throwing leg kicks and counter-strikes.

"I predict Blachowicz winning the fight as Adesanya hasn't faced someone like the Polish before. Blachowicz is bigger, heavier and stronger," Murugan said when contacted.

The bout between Adesanya and Blachowicz tomorrow will be the main event at UFC 259 later this morning. - The Vibes, March 7, 2021
