Former two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has described his upcoming fight against Joe Pyfer at UFC Fight Night 271 in Seattle on March 28 as the biggest of his life, insisting he returns from a year out of the octagon feeling “unstoppable.”Adesanya, who enters the bout on a three-fight losing streak, said the stakes of the Pyfer matchup go beyond the immediate result. This is the biggest fight of his life. It’s the biggest fight of my life in another way — not like it is for him, but as it is for me. I’ve been sitting at the top, still at the top, doing more than a lot of guys who are even champions,” he said. “Everything I’ve done in this game has been for this moment in my life now.
