Israel Adesanya is one of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s fastest rising stars, and will face off against UFC middleweight legend Anderson Silva at UFC 234 on Saturday. Before the pivotal bout, “The Last Stylebender” showed off his love of professional wrestling at the open workouts.
He pulled off a number of wrestling maneuvers during a particularly exciting stretch. He hit a stunner on his training partner before channeling The Rock with a “People’s Elbow” and celebrated like Booker T.
