Israel Adesanya poses with a pizza box at the weigh-in for UFC 259. For Adesanya, making weight was never going to be an issue given his natural weight class is 20lbs lighter. However, it's not the first time Adesanya has made it clear making weight in a higher class was no issue. In 2015, Adesanya weighed in for the King in the Ring heavyweights tournament in Auckland holding a tray for donuts. Adesanya will close the show in the main event, with two other titles being contest before he and Blachowicz compete (available on pay-per-view through Sky Arena, Sky Sport Now and UFC Fight Pass).
