Israel Adesanya shared his sentiments around the backlash Joe Rogan is getting lately. He showed support for the longtime UFC color commentator at UFC 271 pre-fight press conference. The Nigerian-born has praised Rogan and said he is one of the nicest and most humble people in the MMA space and people are trying to eliminate him because of his big platform.

Earlier, one media member asked for remarks from UFC president, Dana White, about Rogan’s recent controversies. However, ‘The Last Stylebender’ took the question from the boss. Later, he posted the clip of his answer and a message to his Twitter.

Many fans opposed the middleweight champion. Hence, they went after him and expressed their unhappiness. Also, his fans suggest the fighter is making it difficult for them to support him.

Here, one fan suggested he is being a company man. As ‘The Last Stylebender’ struck a blockbuster deal with the UFC. According to his team, it makes him one of the highest-paid MMA athletes.

Also, another fan believes Adesanya just wants the limelight.

Even though the fans did not support the Nigerian born on standing by Joe Rogan, the rest of the fighters at the press conference visibly seem to agree with Adesanya.
