‘I Think the McLaren Is Still Better’- UFC Champion Israel Adesanya Says He Prefers a McLaren Over Lamborghini

Israel Adesanya, the reigning middleweight champion of UFC, has made himself a fortune through professional fighting. The Nigerian-born is considered one of the best fighters in the UFC currently.

However, even outside the UFC octagon, ‘The Last Stylebender’ is a charismatic person. When he is not preparing for his fights, the champion loves to spend his time around his luxurious cars and watching anime.

Adesanya has a huge following on all of his social media platforms. And his amusing lifestyle has brought in many fans from the young generation. Interestingly, the Nigerian native also has a YouTube channel where he regularly uploads vlogs, MMA content, and other interesting stuff.

Recently, ‘The Last Stylebender’ uploaded a vlog where he is racing a few sports cars. In the video, after sitting inside a Lamborghini, Adesanya said, “Yeah, I think the Mclaren is still better for me. It’s much more suited for me. One thing I do like about the Lamborghini, though, is the switch this flick right here.”

The middleweight kingpin himself owns a garage of luxurious cars including a customized 2019 McLaren 720s Spider. He bought the car after defeating Robert Whittaker at UFC 243.

‘The Last Stylebender’ completely dominated the fight and secured a knockout win over ‘The Reaper’ in 2019. After that fight, Adesanya has won three more fights in the division. His only UFC loss came against Jan Blachowicz in a light heavyweight bout in 2021.

Meanwhile, ‘The Reaper’ remained undefeated after his loss to Adesanya. Furthermore, he will soon have his chance to avenge the loss in his previous title fight.

Since defeating Whittaker, ‘The Last Stylebender’ has defended his title against Yoel Romero, Paulo Costa, and Marvin Vettori. However, Adesanya has come full circle and is expected to defend his UFC crown against Whittaker.

On the other hand, the former interim middleweight champion in the quest for the gold strap has defeated top-tier fighters from the divisions. He secured wins over the likes of Darren Till, Jared Cannonier, and Kelvin Gastelum to earn his second shot at the title.

According to the report, the much-awaited rematch is expected to take place next year in February to headline UFC 271. However, the venue and location are yet to be announced by the officials.

‘The Last Stylebender’ is currently fresh from his recent win, while ‘The Reaper’ is on a three-fight win streak. Their previous slugfest ended within two rounds.
