​Israel
Adesanya has switched up preparation as he looks to halt his
losing skid in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Adesanya was recently spotted training at
Freestyle MMA Performance Centre in Sydney alongside UFC
featherweight champion Alexander
Volkanovski and Mauricio
Ruffy. This comes after “The Last Stylebender” parted ways with
his longtime gym,

Adesanya has been finished thrice since losing the middleweight
title, most recently suffering a second-round knockout loss to
Joe
Pyfer in March. The Nigerian-born Kiwi hasn’t won since
defeating Alex
Pereira to reclaim the 185-pound championship over three years
ago.
Ruffy shared clips on social media of Adesanya training at the
Sydney gym, which is also home to Volkanovski. Ruffy moved to the
facility after leaving the
Fighting Nerds following his loss to Benoit St.
Denis and has since won two straight fights, including a
knockout of Michael
Chandler at
UFC Freedom 250.
Adesanya has seemingly started pre-camp, per his dietitian’s recent
social media post, indicating that he has a fight booked.👀 Israel
