Video: Behind-the-scenes look at Israel Adesanya’s UFC 263 fight camp

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has released a vlog series ahead of his third title defense.

Adesanya rematches Marvin Vettori in the UFC 263 main event June 12 at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

“The Last Stylebender” will look to make it 2-0 against Vettori, whom he outstruck in their UFC on FOX 29 fight in April 2018. Vettori hasn’t lost since and is confident he’s the man to beat Adesanya at middleweight.

In the first episode of his fight camp series, watch Adesanya crush pads, go through some wrestling drills and spar ahead of his rematch with Vettori.
