Israel Adesanya will make his middleweight title defense against Jared Cannonier in the main event. Whereas Alexander Volkanovski will defend his featherweight title against Max Holloway in the co-main event.

'The Last Stylebender' said:

"For me this is a solid 10. Honestly, for me. What else could you add to this."

Featherweight champion Volkanovski too agreed with the Kiwi fighter's assertions, claiming the lineup to be stacked from top to bottom.

"Well they always say top to bottom, stack top to bottom. This is stacked top to bottom. Legit."

Israel Adesanya claims to finish Jared Cannonier at UFC 276

Israel Adesnaya appeared in the countdown video of the upcoming UFC 276. The promotion's middleweight champ predicted that his fight against 'The Killa Gorilla' would not last long enough. He claimed that he will either submit or knock out the American within the first few rounds of the match.

Sharing his predictions on how the fight would end up, the 32-year old champ has this to say:

"Jared is a fighter, I've called him a dark horse of the division for a long time... He's taken out a lot of people with it, but a lot of people ain't me. Styles make fights and I'm 'The Last Stylebender' so when I fight him, it's not going to go to the distance. He's going to get choked out, or knocked out."
