Dan Hooker claims that Israel Adesanya is physically different going into UFC 305.
for the middleweight title in the main event at UFC 305 on Saturday in Perth, Australia. Hooker, who is hisHooker recently revealed that Adesanya has primarily been working on his strength and conditioning during his 10-month layoff, the longest of his career. And Hooker can not only see the effects of that in Adesanya’s physique but also feels them in sparring.. “And hitting harder than I’ve ever seen before. He really is looking scary.
“There’s just a voice in the back of your head now that’s saying something different. Previously when you’d get hit by Izzy, when he kicks you in the arms, in the shoulders, you’d be like ‘OK, yeah, that’s not too bad… But now? Now he kicks me in the arm and I go ‘f—k that’. That little voice in the back of my head starts saying ‘f—k, I should’ve studied harder in school, I should’ve got a real job’. He’s hitting so hard now it makes you regret your life decisions.
While Adesanya never had trouble making weight due to his good genetics, there’s now method to the Kiwi’s diet, which is already showing him results. “I’ve stopped eating Uber eats for every meal. I now have a chef, which means I’m eating whole foods, good foods and fueling myself properly,” Adesanya said. “Because I don’t understand the science of nutrition, I’ve always just eaten when I was hungry; and eaten whatever I liked. And I have been blessed with good genetics to make weight. I never miss weight. But for me now, it’s about being diligent and really purposeful with what I do. And I feel the benefits working already.
