While Israel Adesanya is known for overcoming significant challenges throughout his fighting career, a recent training session may have presented a new level of difficulty.
“The Last Stylebender” recently teamed up with David Goggins, a renowned fitness coach and motivational speaker celebrated for his extremely demanding workout routines. Adesanya sought Goggins` expertise to enhance his conditioning while preparing for his next fight. In a video log shared publicly, Adesanya captured a raw moment during a session with Goggins where he was seen vomiting.
This collaboration isn`t the first time Goggins has worked with prominent UFC athletes. He previously trained former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson leading up to his fight against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296. However, that partnership unfortunately did not translate into success in the octagon, as Ferguson ultimately lost by unanimous decision, extending his losing streak to seven consecutive fights.
Adesanya currently does not have an upcoming fight scheduled and is reportedly assessing his options to rebound from a recent three-fight losing streak. This challenging period followed his victory reclaiming the UFC middleweight title from long-time competitor Alex Pereira at UFC 287. Since then, Adesanya has faced defeats against Sean Strickland, Dricus du Plessis, and Nassourdine Imavov in consecutive bouts.
