UFC 276 is set to take place this weekend at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It would not be wrong to say that this event will be a blockbuster event. Because UFC 276 includes two title bouts at the top of the card, as well as many other great fights throughout the night.


UFC 276 in which Israel Adesanya is defending its middleweight championship against Jared Cannonier, Israel Adesanya will be defending its UFC Middleweight Championship for the sixth time.


Israel Adesanya v Jared Cannonier

After defeating Marvin Vettori and Robert Whittaker in two recent matches in their recent bout, Israel Adesanya has a chance to knock out a new contender for the first time since the 2020 match against Paulo Costa this weekend. Û” 'The Last Style Bender' faces Jared Cannonier, who won the gold medal by defeating Derek Brunson and Calvin Gastelm. He has gone 5-1 since falling to the middleweight division in 2018, the only loss to the Whitaker. So, could he really remove one of the biggest upsets in UFC history?


Canonier began his UFC career in 2016 as a 241-pound heavyweight. He soon fell into the light heavyweight division, where he lost 2-3 to title contenders Glover Teixeira, Dominic Reiss, and the Blachus. "Killa Gorrilla" has really elevated its game since moving to middleweight, where it went 5-1 with four wins over KO / TKO.


The 38-year-old is an explosive striker with dynamite in his hand and likes to form his powerful collection by attacking his enemies' front leg.

Basically, the fight is more likely to look like the loss of Canonier's Whittaker, in which 'The Killa Gorilla' is trying to close the distance of the ground bombs, which only reach the champion through the Nastier counters. Will be picked up


Whittaker could not eliminate Cannonier, but as we have seen in his fight with Adesanya, he does not have the time and speed of 'The Last Style Bender'.


With that in mind, it seems that Adesanya will channel its inner Anderson Silva, catch Cannonier with something dirty as soon as he enters, and eliminate him at the very beginning of the fight.
