Israel Adesanya displayed his toned physique
Adesanya (32 years old) has been the holder of the belt since October 2019, when Whittaker gave it to him.
He went to defend his crown against Yoel Romo, Paulo Costa, and Marvin Vettori.
Adesanya, 185 lbs, showed off his toned body on social media ahead of Whittaker's highly-anticipated rematch.
He captioned the image with "Manimal."
A mere few days after UFC 271, Adesanya appears to be in his best form of his career.
This week, he revealed that he felt bored in 2021. He lost to Jan Blachowicz while trying to add the light-heavyweight belt to his collection. Vettori won.

"At minimum, at least three fights in this year. I'm not happy. Last year was, to be honest with you, the most disappointing year of my UFC career.
It was only two fights. I went up to light-heavyweight and failed that side mission. I then defended my middleweight belt and got bored at the [Vettori] fight.
"Twista, my [striking] coach, was like, "Don't get bored Izzy." Keep at it.
"I recall he saying that, and I was like, "Oh yeah, true." He could have noticed. He just noticed that I was off. I don't know what I saw.
"I was just like, "Meh! This isn't any fun anymore." He wasn't trying win, he was trying survive.
"I was like, I'm with the belt, you are being super defensive, so yeah."
