UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has a vibrant persona. The unapologetic 33-year-old is a force to be reckoned with inside the octagon. Outside the cage, Adesanya lives his life to the fullest. ‘Stylebender’ has his own sense of style, with fashion choices that have raised eyebrows in the past. But ‘Izzy’ marches to the beat of his own drum. The former kickboxer is currently one of the highest-paid UFC stars, his name mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Conor McGregor. However, all that money does not change certain things, as Adesanya recently showed.

‘Stylebender’ has often been at the receiving end of jibes for his choice of aesthetics and his love for animes. Nevertheless, Adesanya has always managed to shut his haters up with his spoils in the cage. He is also a constant presence on social media and at times even a menace. The New Zealander knows how to flaunt his success and his wealth in the face of his haters. But his latest antic is just hilarious.

Israel Adesanya recently took to Instagram to share a funny little detail about himself. In a series of Instagram stories, ‘The Last Stylebender’ shared clips of himself getting his nails done. The UFC star also looked like he was giving an interview at the same time.

In a separate story, the $4 million worth star gave his followers a peek at his tattered pair of socks. The pair he was wearing was completely torn at the bottom, with the underside of his feet almost clearly visible.

To accompany the miserly approach to his socks, Adesanya added Kanye West’s hit number ‘Gold Digger’ as the background music for the story. Further, he wrote, “I’m still bout the hobolife…got spare change plz?”

Albeit funny, this one pales in comparison to another social media stunt Adesanya pulled recently. After announcing his entry into Threads on its rival app Twitter, Adesanya shocked the MMA community with his first post.

Israel Adesanya shook up the MMA community on social media after his first Threads post featured heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Adesanya and Jones had been beefing for quite a while. There were even talks of the middleweight star moving up in weight and fighting Jones.

However, that did not come to fruition. Surprisingly, fans got to see both of them squash their beef in a healthy and wholesome exchange that came out of the blue. The pair made headlines with just a few minutes of them play-sparring and hugging it out.

It has been an eventful few days on social media for Adesanya, who has been inactive since beating Alex Pereira in April. This weekend, his eyes will probably be on UFC 290 as Robert Whittaker and Dricus Du Plessis battle it out for the number-one contender spot.
