Former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya was sitting cage aspect during UFC 314 on Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla. to help Alexander Volkanovski trying to change into a two-time UFC titleholder himself.

“We love Miami. Two-time, baby. Beautiful, man,” Adesanya stated after Volkanovski was declared the winner. “What the f*ck you going to say now? I love it. I love when a guy like that earns it. F*ck deserves it. He earned it. He’s a great man. He showed why he’s great in and out of the cage. Beautiful to watch.
“I’m impressed,” Adesanya continued. “I’m very impressed.”

Inspiration may be just what Adesanya needs. “The Last Stylebender” has lost his last three fights in a row. His coach, Eugene Bareman, recently hinted that Adesanya could retire.
“If he is doing to struggle again then he’ll struggle again,” Bareman said. “If he isn’t, we have been blessed, I’ve been blessed, the world’s been blessed, the crew’s been blessed.”
