Should they do a real-life battle in a friendly setup, it would be a fun treat for the MMA Twitter world.
Israel Adesanya showed a kind gesture for Jake Shields’ counterpart at UFC 263
‘The Last Stylebender‘ may be a 32-year-old, but he’s all about the social media life in his free time, which is rare for him considering how active he has been in his UFC run. Anyhow, fans have come across ‘Internet Izzy’ here and there.
Adesanya doesn’t have enough time to always comprehend his presence on the web. However, he sure keeps an eye on his fans. The middleweight king showed how much loyalty means to him with his gesture towards one of his fans.
