Israel Adesanya Says Middleweight ‘Slow and Stuck’ Without Him

Adesanya (24-5) says fans only now value how active he was as UFC middleweight champion. Reflecting on the division’s pace, he argued it has slowed since his reign ended and said people “didn’t appreciate” his output at the time. The former champion defended the title five times before losing the belt in 2023. Khamzat Chimaev is the current champion.
