UFC champion Israel Adesanya believes his life emulates a video game, and he meets some unexpected twists and turns, like a character in a video game. A recent incident transpired when he ran into his long-term combat sports rival, Alex Pereira, at an airport. What followed was a healthy exchange and a couple of humorous clips shared on social media by both fighters. However, ‘The Last Stylebender’ attributes the chanced encounter to God playing him as a character in The Sims, not fate.

The 33-year-old champion recently met ‘Poatan’ at the Los Angeles airport after both fighters toured Australia. This marked the first time both arch-rivals faced each other after concluding their rivalry at UFC 287. After missing each other in Australia, despite staying in the same hotel, apparently, God reunited the inseparable pair in a video game setting.

Israel Adesanya mirrors the life of a video game character

The middleweight kingpin detailed the amusing meeting as he appeared on Logan Paul‘s podcast, ImPaulsive. After being asked how both rivals ended up at the same airport, he admitted his life was akin to a video game.

Further, he mentioned he had channelized the belief and assumed the controller of his life to play “this sh*t like a video game”.

The former kickboxer said, “Bro, my life is a video game man. People think I’m joking about that, but I feel Player One is a title that we can all learn to, you know, grasp, you know. And hold the controller of our own lives and learn how to play this sh*t like a video game.”

Furthermore, the Nigerian-Kiwi fighter revealed he customized his avatar in real life by how he walks, talks, holds himself, and dresses. He stated, “This is real-life Sims. So I do the same thing in life and I just try and just like play this like a video game.”

But ultimately, God pulled the strings as he set the flamboyant fighter up for an unlikely reunion with the Brazilian fighter.

Adesanya is a pawn to God playing The Sims

Adesanya announced, “By fate or by f**king just God playing The Sims, it’s like ‘let me put these guys in the same airport together. Let’s see what happens’.”

After trailing 0-3 in their previous meetings across kickboxing and MMA, Adesanya finally conquered his foe and claimed the 185 lbs title in their last fight.
