Pratt and his apology to Isreal Adesanya
Chris Pratt is a huge MMA fan and is often present at Bellator events. The ‘Jurrasic World’ protagonist was with the UFC broadcast team post-main event of UFC 276. The middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya’s performance, did not impress him. Adesanya received a lot of flak for his inability to finish the fight.
On that account, Pratt commented on Adesanya’s performance and said, “I’m just an actor, but I’m not a fan, man.”
You’re right. I’m sorry brutha. It bugs me when people criticize my work- having never themselves risked anything. It makes me a hypocrite to do exactly that to you. My bad. Keep on keeping on champ. 🙏🏻♥️
