It is quite natural to see streamers support their favorite athletes from different sports. From the looks of it, though, Dr Disrespect seems to be more than just a fan of UFC fighter Israel Adesanya. The popular streamer gave his followers a round-by-round analysis of the UFC 253 Middleweight Championship bout that took place between Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa.

Adesanya’s thumping win over rival Costa was nothing short of spectacular. Both fighters have different physiques and distinct fighting styles, but it was Adesanya who took home the win. The bout concluded in the second round itself as Adesanya TKO’d Costa to extend his unbeaten run in UFC.

Surely, fans all over the world had expected this given Israel’s track record, but one particular fan was over the moon as he gave his own take on the match.

“Adesanya will go down as the best ever when he retires IF he takes fights at a solid, consistent volume. 30-0 minimum.”
