    The Stylebender already has at least 8 or 9 fights in boxing.

    If he keeps on winning in UFC - who could he face in a boxing megafight?

    Usyk perhaps??

    I must say Adesanya has some impressive skills!!! Don’t really watch the UFC, but this kid can fight!

    Hehe.

    Gotta sell the fight, man! Gotta be a boxer with a "name" at Cruiserweight.

    Just like Conor vs Mayweather. Big "names".

    His best win is Brian Minto in his 2nd fight, which isn't too bad ..

    He wouldn't make the grade. Way too open with his style. Might crack the lower half of the top 50 but he gets smoked by the world class guys.

    There would be a lot more of this.

    Have to give it to Israel though. Not a fan but his rise will have more eyes on the sadly underrated sport of kickboxing Glory in particular. Btw that knockout isn't that far off back only 2 1/2 years back. Pereira is the current 185 lb king in Glory and holds a 2-0 record over Israel

    As he becomes a UFC megastar, calls will grow for a boxing megafight

    Wait and see

    "Megafight" for DKSAB casual fans.
    Not interested. Stop hyping **** like that

    Just saw this dude once against the ghost of Silva and didnt impress me at all.
    In boxing he wouldn't have no chance and he knows it, better for him to stay in the UFC.

    Yes

    Usyk should be gunning for the big boys at HW and not being gifted a huge payday against a novice

    If you want to see Dorticos, Breidis or Glowackie against Adesanya I say go for it, but dont waste Usyk's time on it. If Usyk is retired from boxing then I have nothing against it

    If he fought Usyk in a boxing match ge would get taken apart inside 7 and would never be the same. He'd whoop Usyk's ass in MMA though, but who cares anyways, its a bunch of broads hugging and rolling around the ground with each other.

    He would get knocked out by any of the top guys. Lets not start this MMAvBoxing trash. Bad enough there are rumors of Canelo v Woodley.
