Sequence begins at 9:33 mark.
Israel Adesanya was taking a page from the “Poatan” playbook.
As we’ve seen from previous UFC events, “The Last Stylebender” can’t stand watching Alex Pereira emerge victorious, so the former middleweight champion enlisted his brother David to perform a “Shaman Ritual” to help counteract Pereira’s black magic.
Here’s the isolated clip from Adesanya’s YouTube page:

“You channeled the wrong spirits!” Adesanya shouted after watching Pereira smash Jiri Prochazka at UFC 303 in Las Vegas.
“I’m saying ‘Chama’ and I’m doing a f*cking bow,” his brother replied. “I f*cked it up!”
Adesanya managed to even the score against Pereira at UFC 287 back in early 2023, leaving them tied at one apiece under the UFC banner after dropping a pair of bouts to “Poatan” on the kickboxing circuit.
“The Last Stylebender” returns to action against current 185-pound titleholder Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 305 in Perth.
