Israel Adesanya, huh? This guy’s been through a lot, and I mean, a LOT, but this time he might have bitten off more than he can chew with his new gym buddy. So, picture this: Adesanya, aka “The Last Stylebender,” decides to jazz up his workout routine because, you know, just regular fight training wasn’t enough. Enter David Goggins, a dude who’s basically a workout legend turned motivational speaker, known for those ‘push beyond the possible’ kind of sessions. And yeah, it was during one of these sessions that Adesanya…well, let’s just say his stomach raised the white flag. It was all caught on camera for one of Adesanya’s YouTube vlogs, and I swear, watching him lose his lunch was as intense as hearing tires screech on hot asphalt. Odd comparison, but it fits.
Right, so there’s this clip floating around, which is something you absolutely have to see. Credit goes to TNT Sports for that. Just giving you a heads up in case you’re on a hunt for a bit of real-life drama.
Oh, and speaking of Goggins, remember Tony Ferguson? Yeah, before his fight with Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296, he also did some hardcore training with Goggins. But here’s the kicker, even after all the sweat and potential tears, Ferguson ended up losing to Pimblett. Unanimously, mind you. Seven losses in a row. Ouch. Makes you wonder if intense workouts translate into actual fight wins or if there’s some secret sauce fighters are missing out on.
Now back to Adesanya. So, the guy’s not booked for any fights at the moment. He’s probably playing it smart, figuring out the next big move—needed when you’re dealing with a bit of a rough patch. His last fights? He managed to snag the UFC middleweight title from his old rival Alex Pereira at UFC 287. Sweet, right? But then the tides turned and he fell into a losing streak against Sean Strickland, Dricus du Plessis, and Nassourdine Imavov. Three in a row, not the kind of hat trick you aim for, trust me.
Anyway, or maybe not—yeah, the full, no-holds-barred video of Adesanya’s time with Goggins is bound to pop up on Adesanya’s YouTube channel soon. If you’re into watching fighters push past their limits, or even if you’d like to see a bit of human vulnerability from someone you probably thought was invincible, keep your eyes peeled for that. It’s bound to be raw and, well, pretty eye-opening.
