Israel Adesanya has not won a bout since regaining middleweight gold at UFC 287 in April 2023, marking a nearly three-year drought from the winner's circle.
Adesanya has lost his past four consecutive appearances, a sharp contrast to his earlier career, where his elite striking defence made stoppage losses rare.
Adesanya has been tested at the highest level and has come up short each time, with all four defeats arriving between 2023 and 2026.
Six of his losses have come in the past five years of his career.
