Coach defends Israel Adesanya’s performance at UFC 276

 This past weekend, Israel Adesanya defeated Jared Cannonier at UFC 276 to successfully defend the middleweight championship for the sixth time. Although “The Last Stylebender” was unanimously chosen to win, many people were unimpressed with his performance.



One actor who was not pleased with Adesanya’s “pitter-patter” performance that evening was Chris Pratt. Adesanya’s trainer Eugene Bareman is responding to those critics in an interview with Submission Radio now that the fight has passed a few days.


I’m not going to suggest Cannonier is at fault, he said. “Look, there are always two parties involved in a conflict, am I right? And between those two, they come to an agreement on how the conflict will unfold.


They engage in these encounters, feel these emotions, and have this vibe about each other, and they decide how the fight will proceed. Both Cannonier and Israel are not to fault. Israel and Cannonier both deserve guilt, though. There’s two people in the fight.”


Only “0.5% of people genuinely know what they’re talking about,” according to Bareman, therefore he doesn’t pay attention to the critics. He places more importance on preventing long-term harm to his boxers after their separate careers are over.


The critics, according to Bareman, “have a very elementary understanding of the sport and they just want to see what in their head they think a fight should look like, and it should look like Michael Chandler and Justin Gaethje fighting one other.” Which is fine, I guess. I mean, it’s really entertaining.


However, my guys want to spend the remainder of their lives and have children. They will practise the technique of hitting without getting struck as well as having stunning fights and spectacular knockouts.


“And they’ll act in that way because they want to lead long, fulfilling lives. If you still don’t believe me, wait until you see some of my teammates and certain fighters in 10 or 15 years. Then you’ll see the proof for yourself.


Bareman added that he had a “off-night,” reiterating Adesanya’s earlier assertion.

Regarding his prized pupil, Bareman remarked, “He had a slightly off night.” “Look man, who are you when you can easily defeat one of the finest boxers in the world on a bad night? So who are you?


You’re the best, man. One of the best in the entire world, you. You can still do that if you had a bad night. Champions are formed of things like that. That is truly a champion.


Adesanya’s record now stands at 23-1 after his victory over Cannonier.
