Arch Rival Paulo Costa Moved by “True Hero” Israel Adesanya’s Gesture

Former UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya just can’t stop getting flanked. ‘Izzy’ is still recovering from his anti-climatic title loss against Alex Pereira at UFC 282. Moreover, this is the third time that ‘The Stylebender’ has bowed down to the ‘Poatan’. In addition, Paulo Costa spoke about ‘Izzy’. Although it came off as praise at the start, things took a wild turn at the end.

Paulo Costa and Israel Adesanya first faced off against each other at UFC 253. The Kiwi fighter came out on top with a second-round knockout win. Although the fight is long over, the beef is not.

Paulo Costa calls Israel Adesanya a “Nice Guy”

Paulo Costa took to Twitter to inform fans about how nice a guy the former UFC middleweight champion truly is. It was a very creatively sarcastic take on the Kiwi fighter. Sharing how ‘Genuinely nice guy’ Adesanya is.

Moreover, he shared how he remembered an incident where they were signing autographs when a baby started crying. Being a gentleman as we know him to be, ‘Izzy’ went to help the mother out with her baby.

He said, “Adesanya clocked this and gently ASKED the Mother if him could help her with the problem. He gently grabbed the baby sat down in his seat with the babe on his knees, he pulled up his shirt and breastfed the baby there and then, true hero. If that doesn’t speak to someone’s personality then I don’t what will.”

Even though he is no longer the champion, fighters still can’t keep his name in their mouth. Both the fighters have gone back and forth several times during the past year or two.

Although ‘Borrachinha’ might have mocked Israel Adesanya, the latter had the last laugh. Adesanya was en route to greatness when he was stopped by ‘Poatan‘. Adesanya is looking to match and break UFC great Anderson Silva’s records in the division.

By the looks of it, he isn’t far away from it. Do you think he will break the records?
