The middleweight champion is about to set up a camp for his upcoming, all but confirmed fight against Dricus du Plessis. Before he goes into Zen mode and settles the true African debate for good, he is enjoying some time off the Octagon and especially with his dog. While some may not know, ‘Stylebender’ is an avid dog lover. The Nigerian-Kiwi fighter loves his closest friend who is with him even before the UFC success.

The 33-year-old currently has one dog, a rottweiler named Toothless. His loyal companion has stood by him through thick and thin, and that’s one reason the UFC champion adores him. Sharing moments of exhilaration and also turmoil together, the MMA fighter has also been subjected to negative comments due to his conduct with his dog. However, this time, he bowed to his trusted friend’s demand.

The middleweight lynchpin turned to his Instagram handle and shared some pleasant visuals involving Toothless. He shared the clip of him going on an evening walk with Toothless and had an amusing caption in store. The Auckland native called himself ‘John Wick’, a fictional character played by Keanu Reeves.

He wrote, “John Wick On A Cold Summer”. 

Notably, John Wick is a retired hitman who returns to old ways after a mishap happens with his dog. Thus, indicating Adesanya’s passion and love for Toothless. But the beloved rottweiler is not the only pet dog he had. He previously owned a dog named ‘Millionaire’ or Milli.

Milli joined the 24-2 record holder’s family as a puppy. Adesanya chose the name for good luck, and also as an optimistic sign of the positive future he wanted for himself and his family. The good luck indeed followed the UFC champion as carved out a reputation for himself in the MMA world. However, Milli also became the reason the MMA fighter received backlash from the fans for one bizarre incident.

Adesanya attracted the fans’ wrath when an old video of him inappropriately touching his dog went viral recently. The video evoked disgust among the fans and it also made rounds in the fighters’ community. Sean Strickland questioned the symbolism he carried as a champion and narrated the incident to Joe Rogan.

The color commentator declared, “I don’t sit around watching people j*rk their dog off ever. If there is a video of you j*rking your dog off, I won’t watch it.”
