Nigeria-born Israel Adesanya is set to make history as he battles light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz, in UFC bout 259 on Saturday.
Adesanya had earlier defeated Brazilian Paulo Costa in a second round TKO to retain his middleweight title and extend his perfect professional record to 20-0. The Last Stylebender has never fought at light heavyweight under the UFC banner, and the 20-pound gap between 205 pounds and 185 pounds is the largest of any two weight classes.
Blachowicz joined UFC in 2014 and he has an impressive 17-3 record while Adesanya has a professional record of 20-0 since making his debut 37 months ago.
