The UFC recently announced the rematch between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira for the UFC middleweight title. The longtime rivals will meet each other for a career fourth time on April 8th. As he prepares to face the man who bested him on three separate occasions, ‘Stylebender’ seems to be released and laid back. The former champion also got a new tattoo, the video of which is available on ‘The Kamikaze’ YouTube channel. While talking to his tattoo artist, ‘Izzy’ recollected how trying to help a homeless man backfired for his ex-girlfriend.

In episode two of Tattoo talks, Adesanya discussed several topics with his tattoo artist, including some of the upcoming fights. The Kiwis then talked about the homeless people in their country, and Adesanya recalled a funny incident from his past.

On The Kamikaze, he said, “This is years ago. The girl I was seeing at the time, she felt bad. And I was like go buy them a kebab. So we bought a kebab, bought him one as well and she went over to give it to him and as she was walking back he just looked at her and threw it in the bin.”

He continued, “I told her and she was like ‘what?!’ and he sitting there just looking at us with no kebab and I was like “Don’t worry about it.”

Both Adesanya and the tattoo artist laughed off the incident talking about how bizarre and surprising it was.

The meaning of Adesanya’s neck tattoo

‘Stylebender’ recently shared a picture of his neck tattoo on his Instagram. He got a hawk called ‘Montu’ inked on his neck. According to the description he gave, “When the storm comes, all animals hide, and the hawk flies over it and looks into its eye. Montu, taker of all comers”.

Adesanya is one of the many UFC stars who has several tattoos on their body. The 33-year-old often chooses to put meaningful ink on his skin, just like he did with Montu.
