MELBOURNE, Australia – Israel Adesanya believes Anderson Silva still has some fight left in him despite falling short in their clash on Saturday in the UFC 234 main event. The betting odd prior to UFC 234 forecasted a blowout win for Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) who at times was listed as a more than 6-1 favorite over Silva (34-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC). The former longtime UFC champ showed he’s not to be underestimated, though, giving a competitive fight over three rounds before losing a unanimous decision . Adesanya has been watching and following Silva since he came into the sport and said competing against one of his role models was like being in the “twilight zone,” and after going 15 minutes in the octagon, he said there’s no doubt the Brazilian could hang with other top middleweights just as well.
