Israel Stylebender Adesanya || Champion of the Torch || Breakdown • Film Study • Highlights ᴴᴰ

Israel Adesanya, Breakdown, Film Study, Highlights, UFC Champion

Stylebender took 17 fights (with 0 defeats), 14 months (in the UFC), and a 5th round sent to us mortals by the MMA gods to shine brightest under the biggest lights he had seen to date.

Kelvin Gastelum, who himself was lined up for a title fight with Robert Whittaker, was as game as they come in making the fight a 5 round contest. If we assume Kelvin won rounds 1 and 4, and Israel 2 and 3, then the long journey from Nigeria to the present came down to 5 minutes. While I could certainly breakdown all rounds and some subtle nuance along the way, I want to focus on the 5th round. It was the making of legend and one of the greatest title fights I’ve seen in the UFC (and I’ve missed somewhere between 0 and 5).

Israel acknowledged Kelvin’s great boxing savvy, in particular, his jab, but went on to say “You need fights like that in your back pocket, but like I’ve always said, destiny is an understatement. The next fight, I will make it memorable”. Well, how anyone could forget that last one escapes me, but I admire the moxie.

“Truth, like a torch, the more it’s shook it shines.” said William Hamilton. If Stylebender is in line to carry the torch that Anderson Silva once made the middleweight division shine, then he is indeed the truth.

Gregor "The Gift" Gillespie || Breakdown • Film Study • Highlights ᴴᴰ

Gregor “The Gift” Gillespie || Breakdown • Film Study • Highlights ᴴᴰ

Gregor “The Gift” Gillespie is an American former collegiate wrestler and professional mixed martial artist. As I type, the undefeated (13-0 with 6 Knockouts and 5 Submissions) LIMMA (Long Island MMA, I’ve trained there, is nice) fighter is ranked #11 in the official UFC lightweight (155 lb) rankings.

Though his flawless record has quite a few knockouts, what stands out to most is certainly his frenetically paced wrestling ability and credentials. He wrestled for Edinboro University, where he was a four-time NCAA Division I All-American and won a national championship in 2007.

I’m often asked whom I think would be the toughest test for Khabib, and because Tony Ferguson is the type of dude that is hard to fight because he mashes all the buttons, I think the answer, potentially, is “The Gift”.

Vasyl Lomachenko & The Bushido Way || Breakdown • Film Study • Highlights ᴴᴰ

The Celebration, and Visual Representation of Bushido.

-DISCLAIMER- I realize that Anthony Crolla wasn’t Loma’s toughest test, but it happens to be most recent. This video is a celebration of what makes Vasyl so uniquely his own, and of course some technical analysis of the aforementioned contest.

Bushidō (武士道, “the way of warriors”) is a Japanese collective term for the many codes of honor and ideals that dictated the samurai way of life, loosely comparative to Western sense of chivalry.

The “way” originates from the samurai moral values, most commonly stressing some combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honor until death.

Naoya Inoue 'The Monster' || Breakdown • Film Study • Highlights ᴴᴰ

Naoya Inoue ‘The Monster’ || Breakdown • Film Study • Highlights ᴴᴰ

Naoya Inoue (井上尚弥) the prodigious Japanese boxer, is a three-weight world champion. Nicknamed “The Monster”, Inoue is known for his devastating punching power and brutal body attacks. Inoue is ranked as the world’s best junior-bantamweight by The Ring magazine, and also currently ranked as the world’s sixth-best active boxer, pound for pound, respectively.

At only 25 years old, and a record of 17-0 with an absurd 15 KO’s (many in the early rounds) amidst competing at anywhere from 108 to 118 pounds (max), Naoya is setting the “lighter weight” boxing world on fire with a combination of speed and power very rarely seen from someone 5’5″ 110 lbs.

In regards to his skill set, grounded in excellent fundamentals offensively and defensively, his jab has laser accuracy, and his body work is already the making of legend. In (western) boxing it is vital to build on a foundation of 101’s in the quest of exploiting and extrapolating from any potential outlier ability. Without his balanced footwork, incredible jab, and defence he wouldn’t get the chance to show off his freakish power. If you’ve read this far, I’d think watching the video would better make sense of it all for you, let’s begin, shall we?
