Israel Adesanya experienced the happiest moment of his fighting career at UFC 287. In a fierce rematch against his arch-rival Alex Pereira, he managed to end Pereira’s seven-year-long reign over him. With a powerful knockout, Adesanya put a halt to the Brazilian fighter’s hat-trick of winning streaks against him so far.
In his post-fight interview, ‘The Last Stylebender’ emphasized the incredible level of happiness he was feeling and expressed his desire for everyone to experience it at least once in their lifetime. He basked in the glory of his victory, relishing the satisfaction of overcoming his rival and securing a momentous triumph. However, this surge of joy was short-lived for Adesanya, as his personal life failed to mirror his professional success. Reports emerged that his ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell, had dragged him to court.

After parting ways, Powdrell is now reportedly demanding half of the UFC middleweight champion’s worth, claiming that their relationship was of significant duration and that she had supported his career.
Following their breakup, Adesanya had a lot to say about the situation and lashed out at his ex-girlfriend.
All that Israel Adesanya burst out about ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell
A few weeks ago, Israel Adesanya praised PSG player Achraf Hakimi for skillfully safeguarding his wealth during his divorce case with his actress wife, Hiba Abouk. Adesanya found the scenario highly relatable to his own situation and took to his Instagram story to taunt his ex-girlfriend in a similar context.
In his Instagram story, Adesanya boldly stated, “Very relatable…Imagine being so fu*ken entitled that you think you deserve what a man has worked his whole life for. When you came into his life with nothing and tried to leave with millions. But like Achraf Hakimi, my assets are protected. I woulda taken half her sh*t too, but I don’t want half of NOTHING.”
However, this was not the extent of Adesanya’s response. He later chose to leak chats with Charlotte Powdrell, where he unleashed a torrent of emotions and made strong accusations. The 33-year-old even claimed that she had a ‘sugar daddy’ and expressed his grievances through a series of vehement statements.

He even added, “You don’t care about my life cuz you’ve sold info about me, so I don’t care about yours. I don’t even hate, I just don’t care about you. I’ve not been in love with you for a while. In summary, I’m glad this happened. I wouldn’t change a f**king thing.”
