UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya defended Joe Rogan at the pre-fight press conference of UFC 271. Besides being a successful fighter, the Nigerian-born Kiwi has also been taking part in many extra-curricular activities outside of the cage. That has made him one of the biggest MMA stars in the world and people pay attention to him.

During the pre-fight conference, UFC President Dana White was asked his thoughts on the Joe Rogan controversy. However, ‘The Last Stylebender’ picked up the mic and almost snatched the question away from the supremo.
“First off, let me take this one, hold up. I’m Black, I can take this one. Look… there’s a lot of c**ts in this game. There’s a lot of snakes in this game. I’ve been in this fight game since 2008. And Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, humble motherfu**ers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Understand that,” said Adesanya.
“You know it’s, f**k the noise man. You know what they’re trying to do. You can’t control the man and he’s got the biggest platform in the world right now.”
Adesanya is not only one of the fiercest fighters on the promotion, but also one of the best friends one can meet in this fighting game.
He has proved it during Rogan’s controversy and also did the same when it came to his compatriot and friend Kamaru Usman.
Israel Adesanya mocked Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz
Israel Adesanya and Kamaru Usman have already given a red signal about fighting each other. However, Usman’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, thinks it is the perfect match for both of them.
Abdelaziz has talked about this fight multiple times. However, Adesanya has had enough of it and went on a hilarious rant against the Egyptian after the UFC 271 media day scrum.

“Yeah, f***ing Tim, why would you do that? What the f**k Tim. Why would you do such a thing? It’s my brotha. It’s my brotha. You want me to fight my brotha? You want the attention for yourself,” Adesanya mocked Abdelaziz in the garb of ‘Tim.’
“I am going to Tweet and delete again. You’re going to Tweet and delete, exactly. My guy, don’t try to put me and my brotha against each other. Better watch yourself. You want clout? You want to be on TV with your peanut head? Stop it.”
