Israel Adesanya doesn’t see Yoel Romero being his toughest challenge to date. UFC middleweight champ Adesanya (18-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) defends his title against Romero (13-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in the main event of UFC 248, which takes place March 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view. “Stylebender” had a remarkable 2019, going through three different kinds of tests. He faced his idol, Anderson Silva, captured the UFC’s interim 185-pound title in a barnburner with Kelvin Gastelum, and became undisputed UFC middleweight champ in what, on paper, should have been his hardest outing in Robert Whittaker. But just like most thought Whittaker would pose numerous threats to Adesanya, his next opponent, Romero, is projected to present a stylistic matchup that Adesanya hasn’t faced before.
