PSG star Achraf Hakimi and the news of his divorce have been a hot topic of discussion.

Even UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya and former heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou had earlier tweeted in support of the soccer star.

A few days later, Adesanya once again has come up with a different take on the developments surrounding Hakimi. Posting an image of the soccer star and his now estranged wife, the UFC champ claimed that just like Hakimi, he too has his assets protected while also taking a dig at the PSG star’s wife.
