Israel Adesanya has called all his shots similar to what Conor McGregor did ahead of his rise. Now, after “The Last Stylebender” became the UFC’s middleweight champion at UFC 243, many believe he is the next superstar, which Ben Askren agrees with.

Adesanya had a star-making performance from his walkout to his phenomenal performance and his callout and giving the fingers to Paulo Costa. The entire night was highlighted by Adesanya and Askren believes he is a superstar now.

“I am very critical, but some of you people are missing the boat. @stylebender [Israel Adesanya] is a f*****g superstar. Charismatic, Unique, Speaks well and can fight,” Ben Askren wrote.

Many fans agree with that sentiment that Israel Adesanya is a superstar. He is entering the space where McGregor and Ronda Rousey were, where they enter the mainstream media and become a person everyone wants to see fight. ‘The Last Stylebender’ also has a very entertaining style and personality that will take him far in this sport.

With the win over Robert Whittaker, Israel Adesanya improved to 18-0 as a pro and 7-0 in the UFC. He has only been in the UFC for less than two years and is already a UFC champion. Adesanya has one of the rises like Conor McGregor did en route to winning the featherweight title.

For now, Israel Adesanya is soaking up the win. As for what is next for him, all signs point to Paulo Costa. Where should he start to defend his title and even move up in weight to fight Jones, he will only become a bigger star.
