Israel Adesanya is no stranger to hate and trolling. His in-octagon feats have earned him accolades from the MMA community. However, this admiration for his fighting prowess gets balanced out by his antics outside the octagon, which often draws severe backlash. Adesanya’s statements and actions have stirred up controversy and caused many to question his sportsmanship.

Recently, it is the fellow UFC fighter Kevin Holland who ‘The Last Stylebender’ has managed to upset. In his typical flamboyant ways, Adesanya made a fashion choice that raised eyebrows. However, Holland, known as the ‘Trailblazer,’ didn’t seem to approve and wasted no time in calling out the reigning UFC middleweight champion for apparently copying him.

Adesanya recently posted a picture of himself proudly donning a stylish Coogi sweater. As eye-catching as his outfit appeared, Kevin Holland seemed to have a déjà vu moment when he saw it. It turns out that the ‘Trailblazer’ had seen that sweater somewhere before—right in his own wardrobe.

Without wasting a moment, Holland took to his Instagram story to accuse the New Zealander of copying his style. In a video, the 30-year-old Holland showcased his wardrobe, revealing the exact same sweater.

Fuming with frustration, Holland exclaimed, “I am so f**king upset that you guys copying me.” He further added, “Y’all are f**king copycats, bro.”

However, it turns out the fighter was just trolling Adesanya. On Fightoneshow’s post, Holland commented, “Bro I can’t even troll in peace.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Holland has trolled the reigning UFC middleweight champion. Previously, he made fun Adesanya of for something far more serious than a fashion steal.

Holland said, “I think Israel Adesanya has a ti*ty, and he was doing ster*ids to get that ti*ty. All right?”
