Israel Adesanya is arguably one of the biggest stars in the UFC today. Now a two-time UFC Middleweight Champion, Adesanya stands with an impressive record of 24-2-0. His most recent victory was a historic win over Alex Pereira by a second-round KO at UFC 287. After being defeated three times by Pereira, Adesanya finally came out on top and proved his worth as one of the best.

However, ‘The Last Stylebender’ is not only known for his exceptional fighting skills but also for his unique personality. He is a quirky and unpredictable individual, which makes him a fan favorite. Fans never know what to expect from him, and he always manages to surprise them. Something similar happened on Adesanya’s Instagram recently.
