VIDEO: Israel Adesanya Just Showed off His Sports Car and It’s a McLaren

Israel Adesanya is one of the biggest stars in the UFC. ‘The Last Stylebender’ orchestrated his growth from a highly touted kickboxing talent to a UFC champion in the middleweight division in just two short years. Since joining the UFC, Adesanya has vowed his fans with impeccable striking and an extremely unique personality. 

Given Adesanya’s fame, it is no surprise that his events do well which translates to a big paycheque for the New Zealand resident. This has meant that Adesanya has been able to enjoy the finer things in life. 

Adesanya took to Twitter to show fans his bright orange McLaren 720s which he has aptly nicknamed ‘Kurama’ the nine-tail fox from one of his favorite shows ‘Naruto.’

‘The Last Style Bender’ revealed in interviews that his dream car was a matte-black Lamborghini Aventador. When he finally reached a point in life where he could afford it, Adesanya revealed that he did not fit in the car because of his massive six feet four inches frame. Therefore, the middleweight champion opted to buy the McLaren instead.

2020 has been a record-breaking year for Israel Adesanya 

2020 has been a good year for the champion Adesanya. He started the year off with a title defense against Yoel Romero in a highly criticized performance. In his second fight of the year, the middleweight champion took on Paulo Costa at UFC 253. 

Adesanya’s performance was extremely clinical, and he finished his opponent in the second round without breaking a sweat. The event is reported to be the fourth most successful pay-per-view of this year selling a staggering 700,000. This has obviously translated to a high pay-day for the Nigerian-born superstar. 

Following his dominant win at UFC 253, ‘The Last Style Bender’ is now set to take on a different challenge at light heavyweight in Jan Blachowicz. Adesanya will join the list of a select few individuals if he is able to beat The Polish champion and become a champion in two different divisions at the same time.
