 <a href=”/fighter/Israel-Adesanya-56374″>Israel
Adesanya</a> has switched up preparation as he looks to halt his
losing skid in the <a href=”/organizations/Ultimate-Fighting-Championship-2″>
Ultimate Fighting Championship</a>.<p>Adesanya was recently spotted training at <a href=”/stats/fightfinder?association=Freestyle+Fighting+Gym”>
Freestyle MMA Performance Centre</a> in Sydney alongside UFC
featherweight champion <a href=”/fighter/Alexander-Volkanovski-101527″>Alexander
Volkanovski</a> and <a href=”/fighter/Mauricio-Ruffy-192545″>Mauricio
Ruffy</a>. This comes after “The Last Stylebender†parted ways with
his longtime gym, <a href=”/stats/fightfinder?association=City+Kickboxing”>
City Kickboxing</a>.</p><p/><div id=”adViAi”><div class=”viaititle”>Advertisement</div></div>

<h2>Israel Adesanya begins first camp since leaving City
Kickboxing</h2>
<br/>
Adesanya has been finished thrice since losing the middleweight
title, most recently suffering a second-round knockout loss to
<a href=”/fighter/Joe-Pyfer-239253″>Joe
Pyfer</a> in March. The Nigerian-born Kiwi hasn't won since
defeating <a href=”/fighter/Alex-Pereira-224511″>Alex
Pereira</a> to reclaim the 185-pound championship over three years
ago.<p>Ruffy shared clips on social media of Adesanya training at the
Sydney gym, which is also home to Volkanovski. Ruffy moved to the
facility after leaving the <a href=”/stats/fightfinder?association=Fighting+Nerds”>
Fighting Nerds</a> following his loss to <a href=”/fighter/Benoit-St-Denis-317103″>Benoit St.
Denis</a> and has since won two straight fights, including a
knockout of <a href=”/fighter/Michael-Chandler-50829″>Michael
Chandler</a> at <a href=”/events/UFC-White-House-Freedom-250-Topuria-vs-Gaethje-111990″>
UFC Freedom 250</a>.</p><p>Adesanya has seemingly started pre-camp, per his dietitian's recent
social media post, indicating that he has a fight booked.</p><p/><center>

Morning Report | Kayla Harrison opens up about injury layoff and possible retirement
Published

I know a lot of folks are looking ahead to UFC 333 next weekend, but up here in CANADA we're stoked for UFC Edmonton this Saturday, headlined by Joaquin Buckley vs. Mike Malott.
OK, “stoked†might be overselling it a tad, but this card is not for you hosers! It's Canada vs. The World, with a ton of pressure on Malott to prove he's the real deal after being handed a top-10 opponent in Buckley. Time to deliver.
Who wins Saturday'a main event?

Ultimate Fighting Championship has reportedly declined to renew
another undefeated fighter's contract.

Dana White's Contender Series in 2022 and went 7-0 in the
promotion.
Farid Basharat exits UFC after 7-0 Octagon run as promotion

Basharat completed his contract with a victory over John Garza
in July and wasn’t offered a new deal. The Afghan-born British
fighter also defeated Da'Mon Blackshear, Jean
Matsumoto and Chris
Gutierrez. Six of his seven UFC victories came by decision.
Basharat joins Muhammad
Mokaev and Michael
Page among fighters whose UFC contracts were not renewed
despite winning streaks.
His brother, Javid
Basharat, also left the UFC in February and has since joined
the
Professional Fighters League. Javid won his final UFC
appearance, though he went 1-2 with one no contest in his last four
bouts with the promotion.

Basharat has been REMOVED from the UFC roster, per @MMAFighting
Farid (16-0) was 7-0 in the UFC, with 6 of his 7 wins coming by
