86kg : Israel Adesanya vs Mark Timms

King in the Ring 86kg Trans Tasman
8 Man April 2015
at the ASB Stadium
Semi Final 2: Israel Adesanya vs Mark Timms

[@Ezio9791]

Adesanya often taunt and talk to his opponent in a disrespectful manner during the fight for the purpose of getting in their head even more to make them more nervous, angry and stiff. But he's always cool and respectful to them after the fight is over, which is very refreshing to see. He's a good guy and an amazing fighter.

[@ShaanGNas]

I think Mark Timms was the most relieved of anyone that "The Last Style Bender" came out of "Avatar Mode", became human again, and was cordial to him. Israel Adesanya showed best in this tournament why he calls himself "The Last Style Bender". It is almost comical to see the flood of emotions going through his opponents when they can't figure out if this nice guy is pretending to be mean, or if this mean guy was pretending to be nice before, but now he wants to kill them. They always look so relieved when he turns out to be an honestly nice guy with great acting skills.

[@kempowarrior]

You can't hit Israel Adesanya by throwing single combination. You have to multiple combination and mixed up your combination going low, high, mid and you have to learn how to fight a with his style. He switches side all time which confuse the shit out of his opponents and he keep his hands lower then most Thai/Kickboxer/Boxer fighters. I can see Israel being a future UFC Champion if he improve his ground game. I have always enjoying him fight because he is very entertaining to watch and a very intelligent fighter as well. He rarely take any damage in his fight.

Tattoos don’t win fights. The weight of the ink slows you down and you lose cooling efficiency because the skin pores are clogged with ink. I just made this up but really tattoos are silly and don’t intimidate nobody.

The opinions can differ, Wonderboy is more of a counter strike with no agression whatsoever and he's almost 36 now. Adesanya on the other hand has a very diverse skill set when it comes to stand up.
