UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is one of the most influential MMA fighters in the world and also a youth icon. Hence, he gets asked about all things fighting. In this case, ‘The Last Stylebender’ had to provide his views on the Jake Paul versus Dana White debacle that revolves around fellow African champion Francis Ngannou.

On the MMA Hour with UFC analyst Ariel Helwani, ‘The Last Stylebender’ said, “I like what Jake was doing. He was kinda like poking the bear a bit and he did spark some… the conversation; you know. He sparked the conversation because it needed to happen and, with Francis as well, the coj***s on him. He was just like, f**k this I am gonna say everything and he just put it out there.”

“So, I respect that and I felt like Jake [Paul], he played his part and I like what he’s doing with promotion. He’s promoter Jake now. So, he’s doing his own thing, and yeah, respect to him.”
