Things haven’t exactly gone smoothly for former UFC champion Israel Adesanya lately. After losing the middleweight title for a second time and falling short in his attempt to win it back, he suffered a first-round knockout that only added to his recent struggles. But it seems ‘The Last Stylebender’ has made peace with it and is enjoying his journey at the moment.

But how exactly is he doing that? Well, firstly, he was seen enjoying a playful moment with David Adesanya, his brother. David recently had a laugh-out-loud moment during a run-in with Israel Adesanya and featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski.

In an attempt to show off his kicking skills on a body bag, things went hilariously off-script. Instead of landing the strike cleanly on the body bag, he completely misses and takes a tumble, turning the moment into pure comedy gold. However, Adesanya also had his share of errors during the spinning kick session. Home of Fight shared a glimpse of what exactly happened. The new featherweight champion, Volkanovski, also tried the spinning kick and landed it successfully.

‘Izzy,’ after the move, tried to shake hands with the UFC champion. However, Volk completely ignored him and left the former champion puzzled. But what followed was a masterstroke from ‘The Last Stylebender’. Adesanya pulled off the famous ‘Spinaroonie’move out of the books of the legendary wrestler Booker T. ‘The Spinaroonie’—a post-match celebration move that became his personal trademark.

After delivering the final blow, Booker would hit the mat, spin around on his back, and pop up in style, sending fans into a frenzy. The caption on the post read, “😂👏 Plays it off in his style.” 

This is exactly what Adesanya did, showing his presence of mind despite being in an unfavorable situation. Adesanya is fairly active on social media and often shares multiple clips of his training with them. While ‘Izzy’ doesn’t always get compliments from the fans online, this time fans seemed highly impressed with his WWE move. Let us take a look at what the fans had to say about it.

Fans praise Israel Adesanya for his presence of mind after getting ignored by ‘Volk’

When Israel Adesanya steps into the Octagon, it’s more than just a fight—it’s a performance. “The Last Stylebender” brings a rare blend of striking precision, calculated movement, and undeniable swagger that sets him apart from the rest. Whether he’s feinting with his hands or dancing his way to the cage, every moment feels intentional, like it belongs on the big screen. From iconic walkouts to post-fight celebrations and clever taunts mid-fight, Adesanya brings drama and spectacle without compromising effectiveness. This is exactly what he did in the recent Instagram post.

One fan showed affection towards the former middleweight champ, mixing humor with admiration. He gave a nickname you’d give a friend who just pulled off something cool or funny: “Nice izzryrooni” Another user kept it simple and straight to the point and complimented Adesanya for his out-of-the-box thinking. He commented, “Hahahah good one izzy”  Another user appreciated his presence of mind and commented, “That was a good save Izzy”. 

One fan pointed out that Izzy not only recovered from the situation but did so in legendary fashion. He brought up the reference to wrestling legend Booker T, and commented, “Bro played it off like a legend man brought back the Booker T throwback haha” Another big shoutout to Izzy’s ability to stay cool under pressure. Even when things go sideways, he keeps his composure and flips the situation in his favor, like a true legend, as pointed out by a fan, “Saved it like the legend he is!!!”

The next comment is a bit clever from the fan. It’s a reference to the video game Fallout, where “max charisma” means your character can talk their way out of anything, charm others effortlessly, and always know the right thing to say. He commented, “Izzy has that Fallout max charisma in this video, totally played that off”  The last comment wraps it all up. Izzy’s larger-than-life personality, quick wit, and natural flair for the dramatic would translate perfectly into WWE, according to the fan. He commented, “Adesanya in the WWE would be amazing! He would be a superstar!”

Overall, these comments paint a picture of Israel Adesanya not just as a world-class fighter but as an all-round entertainer. He is charismatic, funny, quick-witted, and always in control of the moment, even when things don’t go perfectly. What do you think about the presence of mind he should in this latest video?
