Former two-time middleweight kingpin, Israel Adesanya has thanked controversial social influencer and commentator, Andrew Tate for assist following his gorgeous knockout loss at UFC Saudi Arabia this month — after the latter defended him from critics and trash speak.
Adesanya, a former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, returned to motion earlier this month at UFC Saudi Arabia — headlining the promotion’s return to Riyadh in a showdown with surging French-Russian contender, Nassourdine Imavov.
And struggling his third consecutive loss following pair of title struggle defeats to each Dricus du Plessis, and Sean Strickland, Metropolis Kickboxing star, Adesanya was felled with a spectacular second spherical knockout loss.
“‘LMFAO, he (Israel Adesanya) got knocked out.’ Yeah, he went in the cage, he was brave, and he lost,” Andrew Tate defined. “I hate when people who don’t have the balls to step in the cage type things like ‘LMFAO’. Laughing at the warrior to feel better about being a coward. Izzy’s a legend, he’s braver than 99.9% of men alive. Masculine men show respect to those braver than them.”
