Yoel Romero advises Israel Adesanya to take a break after recent losses

Israel Adesanya is facing the toughest stretch of his career after suffering three consecutive defeats for the first time. Once the dominant UFC middleweight champion, Adesanya held the title from 2019 to 2022, securing victories over elite contenders like Yoel Romero, Robert Whittaker, and Paulo Costa. However, his recent downfall has raised questions about his future in the sport.

His losing streak began at UFC 293 when Sean Strickland shocked the world by dethroning him. Seeking redemption, Adesanya returned at UFC 305 but was submitted by Dricus du Plessis in a title fight. His latest setback came at UFC Saudi Arabia, where he suffered a brutal knockout loss to rising star Nassourdine Imavov.

Former opponent Yoel Romero weighed in on Adesanya’s struggles, offering advice during an interview with Submission Radio. He emphasized the need for recovery, stating:

"He needs time, he needs rest. That's what I think, he needs to rest a little bit because [he took] too much damage. But, the problem is the UFC don't give you time. When the UFC calls you, you need to come because you have a contract. Now, he needs to think about training. Not too hard in sparring, he needs to go to training like it's therapy. Let the body recover."
