Former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is gearing up for his rematch against Alex Pereira at UFC’s next pay-per-view, UFC 287. He has since been training and is also active on social media. Moreover, he recently shared a tweet on Instagram from Elon Musk talking about the spread of misinformation on the internet.

Israel Adesanya (23 wins and 2 losses in MMA) has never been able to beat Alex Pereira in his entire fighting career. Before their fight at UFC 281, they fought each other twice in the kickboxing promotion, Glory of Heroes, in China. However, ‘The Last Stylebender’ suffered defeats on both occasions. However, the former champion has mentioned that needs to win his rematch against ‘Poatan’.

However, the New Zealand fighter has been active outside the octagon after having attended the UFC 284 event to support his Oceanic comrade, Alexander Volkanovski, during his fight against Islam Makhachev. He also recently shared a tweet from CEO Elon Musk on Instagram as a story.

Israel Adesanya shares Elon Musk’s tweet on Instagram

Twitter has seen a lot of Covid-19 misinformation floating around on its platform, which saw it banning users who share such information more often than not. However, Twitter CEO Elon Musk removed these policies in November 2022. Musk’s decision had a lot of medical professionals worried, believing that it might lead to some serious repercussions. However, his decision is still in effect. He recently shared a tweet which, in turn, was shared by UFC fighter Israel Adesanya on Instagram.

Musk highlighted the only means to fight misinformation. He wrote: “Best way to fight misinformation is to respond with accurate information, not censorship.” The CEO of Twitter claims that instead of suppressing what people have to say, the educated masses should take steps to help them understand the correct facts. They must not be silenced. Adesanya seemed to share the same sentiment and put that tweet out for his followers on social media.
