“Very Insecure” – Israel Adesanya Plans for a TikTok Dance After Disclosing His Wish to KO Sean Strickland at UFC 293

Ever since Israel Adesanya vs. Sean Strickland was announced, the fans have speculated on the outcome, and more so in favor of ‘Stylebender’. The middleweight champion is also upbeat about his chances when he stands across ‘Tarzan’ in the Octagon. However, the manner in which he would secure a win is still up for guessing. But if ‘Stylebender’ is to be believed, it might include a flashy Ko with painted nails and a TikTok dance.

Amid the training for UFC 293, the Nigerian-Kiwi fighter is also busy promoting his upcoming documentary, ‘Stylebender’. This much-awaited documentary reveals the middleweight fighter’s struggles beyond the steel cage. During one such promotional event, the 34-year-old fighter announced he had already sized up his opponent. Further, he believed Strickland was “insecure”.

Adesanya, in a conversation with MacLife, revealed the reason the American fighter repeatedly called him Chinese and did animate stuff. The Auckland native disclosed that Strickland was insecure, and he tried to cover that up with the shenanigans the fans are used to seeing him do. But that didn’t affect him, as he had already worked on himself.

Adesanya said, “I’m gonna get a mobile nail salon… I’m gonna break my nail on his face. Guy is insecure. I’ve dealt with him behind the cameras and all that. He’s very insecure. Covers it up with a lot of stuff. But that’s not for me. That’s a him problem, not a me problem. I know who I am. And I’ve done the work with myself that I don’t give a f*ck.”

Following this, the focus was on the former kickboxer’s old comments about the festivities that would ensue after his victory. Adesanya has a complicated history of post-fight celebrations that don’t always sit well with the fans. But there is only one motivation that is driving him to go for a kill.

Adesanya reveals the reason behind going for a KO win

Previously, he had disclosed his desire to do a TikTok dance if he were to bag a KO win. “I gotta do it [TikTok]. So I have to knock him out just so I can do the TikTok. That’s the only reason I’m knocking him out. Just so I could do a TikTok dance over his grave,” Adesanya added.

Strickland has in the past attacked Adesanya for his painted nails and his fighting background in China. Meanwhile, Adesanya has hit back at his opponent with verbal sludge and is ready to defend his title this Saturday. Subsequently, he will focus his energy on his upcoming documentary, which will be released on September 28.
