No UFC champion divides fans with his demeanor, as Israel Adesanya does. The flamboyant middleweight champion doesn’t fit in the definition of a traditional stoic champion. The visuals of him painting his nails and his obsession with anime sets him apart from other champions and his unconventional theatrics also add up to his personality. While no one bats an eye on his skills, the Nigerian-Kiwi fighter’s unapologetic persona lands him in deep waters. His rival, Sean Strickland, believes the middleweight kingpin “sucks” due to his gross antics.

‘Tarzan’ had few words of choice for the division champion as he chases a title shot against him. He, along with other UFC fans, was shocked when an old clip involving ‘Stylebender’ and his dog ‘Milli’ recently went viral. When the 32-year-old recounted the disturbing clip to Joe Rogan, the color commentator couldn’t help himself but express disgust.

The #7 ranked middleweight, coming off a victory against Abus Magomedov at UFC Vegas 76, sat down with the famed podcaster in JRE MMA Show #134. The MMA fighter asked Rogan whether he had watched the video of Adesanya inappropriately touching his dog.

He said, “There is a video of him [Israel Adesanya] j*rking his dog off. Did you see that?”

After the standup comic’s surprising reaction, the American fighter suggested he watch the clip. However, the podcast host failed to wrap his head around what he heard from across the table. Rogan then stated, “I don’t sit around watching people j*rk their dog off ever. If there is a video of you j*rking your dog off, I won’t watch it.”

Regardless of the comedian’s revulsion, Strickland asserted, “You’re gonna [watch that]. There is a video of him f*king j*rking his dog out. I’m f**king sure Jamie has seen that.”

The video that the middleweight fighter was pitching recently went viral and put Adesanya in a hot seat. Unfettered by negative comments, Adesanya informed his dog had passed away. The 33-year-old wrote, “RIP Milli 💖💕”.

The TV presenter, however, clarified Jamie, the operator behind JRE, hadn’t seen it. Otherwise, he would have heard about such a clip. These comments didn’t deter Strickland from bashing Adesanya. He thus declared, “The guy is a f*king. Oh man, f*king into nail polish. And God, Izzy just sucks, man. Bring back the old limo. Anderson Silva, could you come back?

Notably, the conclusion of UFC 290 has shifted dynamics in the 185 lbs division. Adesanya is expected to lay his hands on Dricus du Plessis at an event later this year. Meanwhile, Strickland believes only a fight or two separates him from his coveted title shot.
