It\u2019s been a hot minute since we\u2019ve seen Israel Adesanya. Following his disappointing loss to Joe Pyfer back in March, there hasn\u2019t been a whole lot of news on when we might expect to see \u201cThe Last Stylebender\u201d return.<\/p>\n
There was the big news that Adesanya was leaving his longtime home<\/a> at City Kickboxing, saying it was \u201ca long time coming.\u201d Rumors of a rift between Adesanya and new light heavyweight champion Carlos Ulberg<\/a> swirled without any confirmation \u2026 but whatever the reason, something clearly had to change after Israel went 1-5 in his last six.<\/p>\n That change is happening now. On Wednesday, one of Adesanya\u2019s nutritionists posted a video on Instagram showing Izzy doing \u201ca full day of eating in camp.\u201d That\u2019s the first we\u2019ve heard of camp, and now Adesanya has popped up in multiple Instagram videos at Joe Lopez\u2019s<\/a> Freestyle Fighting Gym in Wollongong, home to Alexander Volkanovski.<\/p>\n Volkanovski is hard at work preparing to face Movsar Evloev at UFC 333<\/a> in late October. He\u2019s got Mauricio Ruffy out there with him. And now Israel Adesanya is also there. Preparing for a fight? Nothing has been announced, but it seems clear he\u2019s preparing for something.<\/p>\n
