The PlayStation 5 is all set to launch later this month. With its advent into the market, next-gen gaming will kick-off in spectacular fashion for PlayStation. As usual, PlayStation has promised a great line-up of exclusive titles, which perhaps makes the PS5 more desirable than its competitor, the Xbox Series X. And from the looks of it, MMA and UFC superstar Israel Adesanya cannot wait to get swinging in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

The web-swinging in the game looks especially incredible. It is also heavily inspired by the 2018 Spider-Verse movie, which makes it all the more interesting. The most unique aspect of the 2018 movie was its visual fidelity. The crew has developed entirely new software [https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-required-inventing-a-new-kind-of-animation-technology] to give the move a comic-book feel. Clearly, their effort paid off as the movie received praise from all over the world. The Spider-Verse suit reveal video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2voszREYQg] shows similar editing. It feels like the movie all over again, but with the player being in control of the movement. No wonder Izzy is already drooling over the game’s gameplay. Talking specifically about the web-swinging, it is also heavily inspired by the Spider-Verse movie. The movement, the acrobatics, the actual swinging, and the dips and turns that Miles does mid-air are just mesmerizing to witness. Insomniac have clearly outdone themselves this time. Naturally, Adesanya being impressed by this game is justified. Speaking about games, Adesanya also recently managed to break [https://www.essentiallysports.com/twitter-hails-israel-adesanya-for-breaking-the-ea-cover-curse-paulo-costa-at-ufc-253-news-esports/] the ‘EA cover curse’ with his win over Paulo Costa. This may seem insignificant, but given the fact that Masvidal lost after featuring on the UFC 4 cover, it is definitely a great sign. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is definitely going to have more such high-profile fans once it launches. The game releases on November 12 along with the PlayStation 5.

Israel Adesanya

Israel Adesanya: Net Worth 2024, Record, Girlfriend, and More Who is Israel Adesanya? The former Middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, is undoubtedly one of the most noted figures in the entire UFC. While many have called out the promotion for allegedly underpaying its athletes, Adesanya may call himself an exception to this.  via Imago Adesanya joined the UFC back in December 2017. Since then, it has been quite a glorious ride for &#8216;The Last Stylebender&#8217;. After crowning himself as the Middleweight champion in 2019, Adesanya went on to become one of the highest-paid athletes in the UFC. So here&#8217;s a look at all you need to know about the middleweight phenom. Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Adesanya was born in Nigeria. His father, Oluwafemi earned his livelihood as an accountant and his mother, Taiwo worked as a nurse. &#8216;Izzy&#8217; was the eldest of his five siblings. He went to Chrisland School, Opebi, and also got himself enrolled in the Taekwondo club of the school. His mother later got him out of there after he sustained an injury. Adesanya also spent 10 months in Ghana since their family relocated. However, his parents wanted him to get a better quality higher education and sent him to Rotorua, New Zealand. Adesanya was just 10 years of age at that time. Although Adesanya didn&#8217;t take any interest in sports after joining Rotorua Boys&#8217; High School, his choice was altered when he faced regular bullying in his high school years.       View this post on Instagram            A post shared by Myprotein (@myprotein)  The noted Muay Thai-based film, &#8216;Ong Bak&#8217; served as an inspiration for him to join kickboxing. At 20, Adesanya decided to give up his studies as a Bachelor of Science in Computer Design at the Universal College of Learning in Whanganui and decided to fight. Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Girlfriend Although &#8216;Izzy&#8217; has never been vocal about his relationships, he gave of hint to his eagle-eyed fans when he posted some snaps of himself with a lady. Later, the fans identified her to be the famed Australian model, Shana Evers.  Adesanya and Evers follow each other on Instagram. The speculations about their relationship started when Adesanya liked and commented on a 1 September 2021 post from Evers. Although, &#8216;Izzy&#8217; hasn&#8217;t expressed any desire to publicize his relationship, still it&#8217;s known that the couple isn&#8217;t married yet and also doesn&#8217;t have any kids together. Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Net Worth 2024Â  As per several reports, Israel Adesanya&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be around $4-6 million as of 2024. Several factors influence a fighter&#8217;s earnings, such as base salary, win bonuses, and performance incentives. Additionally, endorsements and product placements can generate substantial income. Adesanya&#8217;s UFC career has been a major contributor to his wealth. His salary, pay-per-view shares, and win bonuses have steadily increased as he climbed the ranks. Notably, his fight against Alex Pereira at UFC 287, for instance, earned him a massive paycheck of $3.18 million. Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Career Timeline Adesanya started off his professional kickboxing career in the &#8216;Kulun Fight&#8217; promotion in China. After getting eliminated from the semifinals of the 2014 Kunlun Fight 80 kg tournament, &#8216;Izzy&#8217; moved on to join the noted kickboxing promotion, Glory Kickboxing. That&#8217;s where he clashed with his biggest rival, Alex Pereira, and lost twice to him.  &#8216;Izzy&#8217; also participated in the Glory Middleweight Contender tournament in 2016. He also won the tournament and fought Jason Wilnis for the championship, but Adesanya lost the fight via a unanimous decision. His last Glory fight was against the noted current UFC champ, Alex Pereira, who was also signed with the promotion at that time. Izzy lost the bout via a knockout in the final round. Israel Adesanya&#8217;s Professional Mixed Martial Arts Career Following his Glory kickboxing days, Adesanya transitioned to MMA. He also fought for a few promotions, including the Australian Fighting Championship. But, &#8216;The Last Stylebender&#8217; didn&#8217;t agree to be contented fighting for such small promotions. The former UFC Middleweight champ made his debut at UFC 221 against the famed Middleweight, Rob Wilkinson. He also picked up a superb TKO victory in the second round itself. Following his superb debut, Adesanya continued to showcase his prowess in the UFC Middleweight division.  He defeated several noted UFC Middleweights, including the legendary Anderson Silva, which lined him up for a title shot against the famed, Kelvin Gastelum. &#8216;Izzy&#8217; put up a superb display of his courage in the bout as he claimed the UFC Middleweight Championship with a unanimous decision victory in the bout. Adesanya is considered the most active champion in the UFC by a lot of fans. He also has a remarkable six title defenses to his name. Adesanya held the Middleweight title for more than 3 years before losing it to Pereira in November 2022. Nevertheless, Izzy avenged his loss at UFC 287: Pereira vs Adesanya 2, but lost his title once again to the underdog Sean Strickland, who stepped in instead of Dricus Du Plessis for UFC 293. Now there&#8217;s also a cinematic touch to Adesanya&#8217;s comeback since he will once again try to clinch his crown from none other than Dricus Du Plessis. Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Contract While the exact terms of the contract, such as its duration or specific financial details, have not been publicly disclosed, it is reported that Israel Adesanya signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC before UFC 271. This deal is one that has been widely described as &#8220;one of the most lucrative multi-fight deals in company history.&#8221; Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Apart from his earnings from the UFC, a lot of brand endorsements also contribute to his million-dollar net worth of &#8216;The Last Stylebender&#8217;. Adesanya made history by becoming the first MMA fighter to sign with Puma. He also has a Prime Hydration sponsorship. Yes the popular sports drink brand, co-founded by KSI and Logan Paul. They secured Adesanya and fellow UFC champion Alex Volkanovski as their first athlete endorsements. Adesanya&#8217;s love for gaming also led to a partnership with the popular video game franchise, &#8216;Call of Duty&#8217;. Additionally, he was also the ambassador for Stake.com, and partnered with Engage, a clothing brand,Â for limited edition collections. Israel Adesanyaâ€™s Career and Record Adesanya&#8217;s UFC debut was met with immediate success. He climbed the ranks rapidly, but not without his own share of setbacks.

He is a regular donator for various noble causes but prefers keeping them to himself. Also, Izzy refrains from making donations to large organizations since they might become public knowledge. Instead, he prefers providing aid to smaller entities. He once revealed,Â &#8220;My sister, who&#8217;s a nurse, was telling me about the hospital needing beds. I donated $20,000 just to help them out and they got a few new beds more than a few new beds.&#8221; Adesanya also sponsored 10,000 three-ply face masks and 1000 eye protection face shields for Whanganui&#8217;s frontline health staff in the fight against COVID-19. Evidently, &#8216;Izzy&#8217; cares about others&#8217; requirements as well, apart from his own.
