UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya knows how to get under people’s skin. This is something he has in common with his UFC 293 opponent, Sean Strickland. Both are loquacious trolls who have mastered the art of mockery and derision, using it to great effect on their opponents, or just people they generally dislike.
In fact, most speculate that one of the main reasons ‘Tarzan’ was chosen to replace Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 293 is because of his ongoing feud with Adesanya. Adesanya regularly posts his content on his Youtube channel, but, it seems that was not Adesanya’s original plan as he had another platform as his first choice.

Israel Adesanya told Andrew Schulz that he had set up an OnlyFans account to get his content to his fans. But, when he realized that the adult content platform was banned in jurisdictions like China, UAE, and Nigeria, he reconsidered as he needed his content to reach his fans.
“It was meant to be on OnlyFans. See, the plan was… everything I’m doing on YouTube right now was meant to be on Only Fans and that was the plan but then OnlyFans is banned in China, it’s banned in Dubai, UAE has banned it, Nigeria. And I’m like these are key markets for me I need my content to get out.”
He had originally planned to post the content he does on his Youtube channel to his Only Fans, but it would not have reached a significant amount of his fans. This is why he chose to post on Youtube. His OF channel is still active, according to Adesanya, but he has made it free.

‘Stylebender’ revealed that he had made a respectable $10,000 in his first month on OnlyFans despite a low subscription base. This was before he made his account free. “Yeah like in the first month I made like 10k, you know off like a low subscription and I kind of put some stuff out there but then I just made it free and we’re doing well,” he told Schulz.

His insightful commentary, and interviews, not to mention trolling he does, are worth their weight in gold. What do you think about Adesanya’s comments about his Only Fans account?
