Israel Adesanya set to defend title against Jared Cannonier at UFC 276

Israel Adesanya is gearing up for his fifth title defense as he takes on No.2 ranked middleweight contender Jared Cannonier at the upcoming UFC 276 pay-per-view in Las Vegas.

The championship bout will serve as the headliner for the promotion's International Fight Week in July.

'The Last Stylebender' has run through most of the middleweight division since capturing the title by defeating Robert Whittaker in 2019. Moreover, the Nigerian-born Kiwi recently defeated 'The Reaper' in a highly anticipated rematch at UFC 271, thereby securing two victories against the former champion.

Israel Adesanya seems determined to continue his run of good form and further cement his status as one of the greatest fighters in the history of the division.

UFC 276 is set to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 2. The card will also feature a middleweight clash between rising contender Sean Strickland and Adesanya's former foe Alex Pereira.

Labelled " The dark of the division" by Adesanya himself, Jared Cannonier will head into the title fight with two consecutive wins. His most recent win came over Derek Brunson in February on the same card where 'The Last Stylebender' last defended his title against Whittaker.
