Israel Adesanya has angered his fans once again! He is well-known for his unconventional antics and unapologetic personality. While this often earns him high praise from the MMA world, it can sometimes backfire on him. However, the reigning UFC middleweight champion’s recent behavior has resulted in immense fan backlash.

Just after a spectacular victory over his long-time rival Alex Pereira, Adesanya found himself in hot water with fans. He had earned the belt and high praise from the MMA community, but shortly after, an old video of him with his dog resurfaced. This time, his unorthodox personality hasn’t sat well with fans, leaving them disgusted and upset. In the video, the 33-year-old can be seen touching his pet dog inappropriately, causing havoc among fans.

Adesanya stirred controversy when he took to Twitter and retweeted a bizarre video of himself with his dog ‘Millionaire’ a.k.a ‘Milli’. In the old video, he could be seen touching the dog’s genitals and laughing over it, which did not sit well with many fans who expressed their disgust in the comments.

In a strange turn of events, ‘The Last Stylebender’ later revealed that his dog had passed away. Despite the unfortunate occurrence, it was the peculiar clip that caught the fans’ attention.

Many fans were grossed out by the act. Shock was also an emotion that was evident amongst social media users. Back in 2018, the fighter posted a loving video on Facebook with his dog ‘Milli’ and how he couldn’t wait to give his dog the life he deserved.
