“Doesn’t Have the Same Respect”- Israel Adesanya’s Coach Calls Out Kamaru Usman’s Manager for Insensitive Remarks

Israel Adesanya’s coach, Eugene Bareman of City Kickboxing, called out Ali Abdelaziz- manager of Kamaru Usman, for the utter lack of respect towards his client’s relationships.

Israel Adesanya and Kamaru Usman hail from the same African nation of Nigeria. The pair have a great deal of respect for each other and consider themselves brothers. They have been spotted together on many occasions and fans know that they are supportive of each other.

However, for the past few days, a fight between both of the UFC champions has been the buzz of the town since Usman‘s manager shared his willingness to pit them against each other. However, Adesanya‘s coach isn’t on board with the discussions surrounding a match-up between Adesanya and Usman.

“So, Israel and Kamaru are friends. Respectfully, I’ll never talk about them fighting. Israel had already said they won’t fight since they are good friends. I know a little bit about their relationship. And just that’s like I said out of respect, I am not even gonna even talk about that or contemplate it just in the same way that Kamaru and Israel don’t. And no one in my team would.”Bareman explained via Submission Radio.

“That’s Kamaru’s team and Kamaru’s manager and they do things differently and if Kamaru’s manager doesn’t have the same respect that I do for Israel in the relationship, that’s between them. I got nothing to do with them. So, I don’t care on the matter,” Adesanya’s coach continued.
