How Many Times has Israel Adesanya Been Knocked Out?

Israel Adesanya, the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion, is widely regarded as one of the most talented fighters in the mixed martial arts (MMA) world. Throughout his career, Adesanya has showcased his exceptional skills and resilience inside the octagon.

But despite his near-flawless Middleweight career, there have been instances where Adesanya faced knockout defeats, shaping his journey as a fighter.

GLORY of Heroes 1, 2016

In 2016, Adesanya faced Alex Pereira at GLORY of Heroes 1 in China. Although Adesanya out-struck Pereira, Pereira managed to land combinations and shots that caused significant damage. Despite Adesanya's efforts, Pereira ultimately secured a unanimous decision win.

GLORY of Heroes 7, 2017

A year later, at GLORY of Heroes 7 in Pereira's hometown in Brazil, Adesanya was the aggressor in the fight's opening, demonstrating his determination to seek revenge. But in the third round, Pereira delivered a devastating shot to Adesanya's chin, resulting in Adesanya's first career knockout.

UFC 287, 2024

Fast forward to UFC 287, Adesanya faced Pereira in a highly anticipated rematch. The bout culminated in a TKO win for Pereira, marking his third victory over Adesanya.

The fight was a pivotal moment in Adesanya's career, as it showcased his ability to bounce back from defeat and demonstrated Pereira's dominance over him.

Adesanya's Response

Despite the knockout defeats, Adesanya has remained resilient and determined. Following the UFC 287 fight, Adesanya's ability to overcome Pereira became a turning point in his career. 

The Road Ahead

As Adesanya looks to the future, the discussion shifts to potential matchups and the division's contenders. With wins over every top contender in the division, the lack of a clear contender for Adesanya's title poses an intriguing challenge. Also, the possibility of a fifth fight with Pereira looms, showcasing the intense rivalry between the two fighters.

 

All in all, Israel Adesanya's knockout history is a testament to his resilience and unwavering determination. While he has faced knockout defeats in his career, each instance has served as a pivotal moment, shaping his journey as a fighter and solidifying his position as a formidable force in the MMA world.
