UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya recently made a post on Twitter that raised eyebrows and generated a lot of buzz on social media. The two-time UFC champion posted a message for his trollers who would not let him forget the score between him and Alex Pereira.
Adesanya wrote, “Don’t be that guy at the party tonight”. Additionally, he also sent a meme of AEW wrestler Jon Silver whispering to fellow wrestler Anna Jay with the text “Izzy got Lucky. Alex is 3-1,” to promote his message.

Adesanya was not having any of the narrative that Pereira was the overall victor. He used the meme to dismiss the critics and remind everyone that he had still come out on top. His message was clear: don’t be the person who tries to take away his victory or discredit his skills.
The trolling from ‘Stylebender’ comes after going back and forth with rival ‘Poatan’ on social media. The rivalry between the two doesn’t seem to end as they keep teasing the fans.

Adesanya truly knows how to get the internet going. His latest tweet has done nothing but stirred the fans in anticipation of a third MMA fight with ‘Poatan’.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the UFC middleweight champ. Also, with Pereira likely to move up to the light heavyweight division, the chance for a trilogy fight in the 185-pound division is slim.
