Israel "Style Bender" Adesanya will look to improve his unblemished UFC record to 16-0 this Saturday, February 9, as he takes on veteran Anderson Silva at UFC 234 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.
Ahead of Saturdays' much-anticipated Middleweight bout, the fighters held open workouts for the media, which paved the way for Adesanya to break out a Stone Cold Stunner as well as a Rock Bottom and People's Elbow, sprinkled with a little bit of Ric Flair swagger and a Booker T spinaroonie.
Adesanya, 29, is currently ranked sixth in the UFC Middleweight division, coming off a first round TKO victory against Derek Brunson at UFC 230 back in November.
He is a heavy favorite going up against the 43-year old Silva, who has not fought in two years, and a victory should catapult the entertaining Style Bender into the main event scene.
