Amid Israel Adesanya’s “3 in the Morning” Story Made Viral by Joe Rogan’s Friend, UFC Champ Gives a Massive Shout-Out to the Comedian

What? When did ‘Izzy’ come across this guy? In a surprising turn of events, a video capturing the escapades of UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and comedian Bert Kreischer aka ‘The Machine‘ in New Zealand has gone viral. The videos of the duo’s unexpected friendship and wild night out have made waves worldwide.

But wait! That’s not all. The middleweight champ recently took to his Twitter, to give a big shout-out to ‘The Machine’, reminiscing of the fun times they had, and all the craziness that followed was captured in the video uploaded along with the tweet.

The night that went viral: Unfolding Adesanya and Kreischer’s wild adventures in New Zealand

It all started on yet another The Joe Rogan Experience episode. In the episode, the comedian started off the story by confessing that he used to joke about ‘beating up’ the ‘Stylebender’ if they were both to drink and fight. But ‘The Machine’ never thought of what would happen if they were to meet. He promtly declared that he did not expect to run into the fighter at one of his shows in New Zealand. But how could ‘Izzy’ miss out on this chance to get even?

“I was fooling around with Tom [Segura]. I never thought I’d meet Stylebender. That motherf***er rolls up to my show in New Zealand and first of all is way bigger than you think and his hands are huge.

“The first thing he does is he grabs my arm to like dap me up and he throws a knee, and he grabs me by the back of the neck and goes, ‘You still think you could f*** me up.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m so sorry.'”

After a lesson in humility, Kreischer and ‘Izzy’ left to hit a local bar. Invigorated by their newfound camaraderie, the duo decided to ‘start a scrap’ with everyone present as they stood back-to-back, shirtless, and dared anyone in the bar to take them on.

However, no one seemed interested. Undeterred, Adesanya and Kreischer ended up buying several rounds of drinks for the entire bar. Some party right? The episode concluded with the comic expressing his admiration for Adesanya, calling him “the coolest motherf***er.”

Recounting their adventurous night, Adesanya recently took to his Twitter handle to upload a video of that day. In the tweet, the ‘Stylebender’ gave a ‘shout out’ to the comic, who’s also one of Rogan’s old friends. It is likely that Izzy has taken a liking to his ‘new friend’, and many new chapters are yet to unfold. The caption read: “Shout out to @bertkreischer aka The Machine‼️ Out now in theaters. 💖✨”

The caption may be interpreted in many ways. It may be a dig at all the baffling stuff they did together, or it could just be a teaser of something unexpected.
