Israel Adesanya Sends Chilling Warning to Joe Pyfer Ahead of UFC Seattle
Israel Adesanya is slated to return to the octagon after more than a year. He will take on Joe Pyfer in the main event of UFC Seattle on March 28.
‘The Last Stylebender’ has lost three fights straight since his KO victory against Alex Pereira in 2023.
Earlier today, after Dana White made the fight announcement, the former two-time UFC middleweight kingpin took to X and pledged to ‘rip Joe Pyfer in half’ by posting an edited video of his comeback that included some of the best moments of his career. Adesanya captioned the clip:
“Aaaah sh*t…here we go again! 😏”

Adesanya had previously stated that, at the age of 36, he wants to take on fights that he can enjoy and compete without worrying about losing a championship, and no longer wants to pursue belts. At UFC Seattle, when he locks horns with the surging Joe Pyfer, the Nigerian-born Kiwi will look to win his first fight in nearly three years.
Pyfer, on the other hand, is currently riding a three-fight win streak and boasts wins over Abus Magomedov and Kelvin Gastelum, among others.

Earlier today, after Pyfer vs. Adesanya was announced, ‘Bodybagz’ took to Instagram to thank the promotion for the opportunity. He wrote:
