Israel Adesanya recently offered his take on what makes his coach Eugene Bareman one of the greatest coaches in the game.
He asserted that Bareman's tendency to focus on his craft and the way he recruits members of his team plays a major role in making him one of the best coaches.
Adesanya, who is currently on a collision course with Jared Cannonier, recently opened up about the same while in conversation with the media at a UFC press conference alongside Alexander Volkanovski and Kai Kara-France.
"Eugene, I've worked with, for a few years and I think his insight, his insight to the game and also, put it this way, there was one, one of these days during this camp... I was watching him tell each guy how to do what they were doing and it was like he was playing a video game. He was just so captivated in that guy to make sure that they do what they needed to do, then move to this guy. And he was just in his element. Looked like a kid in a candy store."

'The Last Stylebender' further hailed Eugene Bareman for carefully picking the rest of his team to coach his fighters. He asserted that Bareman had a knack for seeking out some of the best coaching talents to improve his fighters' overall growth.
