Israel Adesanya is a UFC fighter full of life. The ex-Middleweight champion does not leave things around to not try. He believes in the philosophy that life is short and you should make time for everything that you wish to do. Even in the past, Adesanya has been known to try out various colorful experiences. Not leaving anything behind, the 33-year-old fighter’s newest addition was a non-colorful experience. This may sound bland in comparison to Adesanya’s other adventures, but it is indeed a unique one. It looks like the talented Nigerian fighter recently got a face tattoo implanted on himself.

Somebody rightfully commented, “This guy will even get hated for a tattoo.

This is an interesting food for thought. “Why foreigners pick the most basic Arabic font when they’re getting a tattoo?

Fans can never have enough of Pereira vs Adesanya, “Na dude, the ink from the tattoo will help absorb the punches in the rematch, obviously leading to a new outcome for part 4.

After all the waiting, there was an explanation for the tattoo. “That makes sense. He used to go by the nickname ‘Black Dragon’ when he was a kickboxer in China. Why he chose Arabic though I don’t really understand. Maybe for the aesthetics.

Why did Adesanya suddenly change his looks?

The sudden change in Adesanya’s lookbook does seem odd. However, he is known to do several unique things. For example, how he went on to crip-walk on a concert stage a while back. The Nigerian beast must have really found the tattoo meaningful for himself, that he got it inked on himself.
