Khabib Praises Israel Adesanya Before Pereira Fight

Former UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has hailed Isreal Adesanya aka Stylebender, ahead of his fight with Alex Pereira in the UFC 281 main event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

In a tweet, Khabib said, “I don’t miss Adesanya’s fights and actually feel like he doesn’t get the credit he deserves. If he defends the title a couple more times, he will be on the same level with Jon Jones. Good luck #stylebender.”
