Israel Adesanya will fight for the fourth time under the UFC banner Saturday night after making his promotional debut earlier this year, and it’ll be on the biggest stage yet. For the first time, Adesanya, 29, will compete on pay-per-view at UFC 230, when he meets Derek Brunson in the main-card opener at Madison Square Garden in New York. This fight has been brewing for months, with both men talking smack to each other on social media in the build-up, and it’ll be Adesanya’s toughest test to date. An impressive win for either man could create title-shot chatter.
