Adesanya, a big Anime and comic book fan, compared the Performance Institute to Professor Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Youngsters in Marvel’s X-Men comic book series.
Speaking on Twitter, he said:
Israel Adesanya impressed by UFC Performance Institute
The UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada is undoubtedly one of the best state-of-the-art gyms in the world. The 15-acre, 184,000 square-foot campus has been hosting all the UFC fights in America since the pandemic began.
The facility contains cutting edge technological innovations such as nap pods, laser light therapy pod, DEXA machine, saunas and Cryosense chambers. Apart from the technology, the facility is managed by experts in strength and conditioning, nutrition, physical therapy and, of course, MMA.
The vice-president of the UFC Performance Institute speaking to Forbes in 2017 said:
Israel Adesanya, who defended his title against Paulo Costa at UFC 253, has already found his next opponent in light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz. Adesanya wanted to fight Jared Cannonier, but the American was outclassed by Robert Whittaker in a number one contender fight at UFC 254.
Israel Adesaya knocked out Whittaker to secure the undisputed title middleweight title at UFC 243 and isn’t interested in the rematch at the moment.
The 31-year-old, however, is expecting to fight Whittaker again in the future:
