Israel Adesanya was hosting or attending a live match party with his family. In the post, we can see him going berserk, along with his family members, after seeing how stunningly his ‘good friend’ Ngannou picked up the victory.

He even posted a picture of himself, Ngannou, and Kamaru Usman, and tweeted, “3 kings taking back gold to land, Africa. This is history!! The stories this can inspire!! I am inspired. Our stories will be told by us.”

In an interview with the YouTube channel ‘Its time for Sports’ ahead of his fight against Jan Blachowicz, Adesanya had mentioned that having three African-born champions will be iconic, and he didn’t want to spoil the situation.

He said, “Imagine when Francis gets that belt. Me, Kamaru and Francis, it’s three African-born champions holding UFC belts currently, at the same time, that’s powerful. That image is powerful. That image itself is iconic and historical, and it would do a lot for the people from our continent.

“They’ve been taking a lot of gold from Africa. So it’s good to bring it back to Africa, so yeah… (I will fight) no one that I consider a brother. I feel like it was almost blasphemous.”

Francis Ngannou too had shown his support for the previously undefeated Adesanya after he was defeated by Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259 earlier this month.

It’s the first time in UFC history that three champions are of African descent, with Ngannou being the Heavyweight champion, Kamaru Usman being the current Welterweight champion, and Adesanya, of course, being the Middleweight champion.
