Talking about how he felt Adesanya said, “Learning how to understand your emotions, that’s why the ‘don’t react’ response comes in handy cuz a lot of people men especially, I’ll put it on us don’t know how to handle their emotions and that’s why a lot of men sometimes they get really insecure, I am like why the f*** this guy is able to express what I wish I could express.”

It seemed like the ‘Stylebender’ had given it a thought as he further added, “Yeah, why can he f****** express what he feels but I can’t? They don’t realize why they feel what they feel when they see someone else doing what they wanted to do.”

Adesanya gets tattoos

‘The Last Stylebender’ has got a verse tattooed over his right eyebrow. He also got an eagle tattooed on his neck. The artist Josh Kuhne seemed to have impressed Adesanya with his work, as ‘Izzy’ looked excited to have gotten the two new tattoos. Moreover, the 33-year-old will hope the new tattoos bring in some luck for him. He will surely need some to break ‘The Poatan Jinx’.

Alex Pereira is undefeated against Adesanya across two sports. He won twice in Glory Kick-boxing and kept his streak going in the UFC.

If Israel Adesanya can finally break the trend or not will be interesting to watch. Which side will you be on when the two old rivals meet in the cage at UFC 287?
