Even though the winners are voted by fans, and they choose Israel Adesanya as #1, fight fans were baffled to not see Alexander Volkanovski or Alex Pereira who had more convincing wins than ‘The Last Stylebender‘, win the award.
What Is Israel Adesanya’s Walkout Song?
Therefore, some of them showed their disappointment in the comments section of UFC’s awards result post.
“Lol who voted for Izzy ?”
“C’mon… Pereira should get the 1st bonus.”
“The fans voted Izzy over Volk? Something ain’t right here.”
“Who tf in their right mind voted for Izzy over volk, that fight was a snoozefest.”
“What the hell??? Adesanya is the least deserving of a fan bonus on the entire card.”
“No way the fans voted Izzy.”
“Izzy needs to pay 30k to each viewer for that time waster.”
“I guess Izzy got it for his entrance?”
“This is criminal… who tf voted Izzy the most? People were literally leaving the arena mid fight..”
“Lmao actually insane Izzy landed this. Social media army.”
“Decisionbender deserves no bonus.”
“Izzy better give that money away to charity.”
“Man got a bonus instead of a paycut.”
