By his own admission, Israel Adesanya will “say the darndest things.”
That includes his scathing criticism of top middleweight contender Yoel Romero, who fell into “The Last Stylebender’s” crosshairs after failing to make weight for his Robert Whittaker title fight last month in Chicago.
Now, Adesanya is upping the ante by wearing a “Good C—t” tee shirt while signing posters for this Friday night’s headliner. The undefeated striking sensation battles Brad Tavares in The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 27 Finale main event on FOX Sports 1.

That’s an interesting stance considering the current social climate, also known as the “age of outrage.” Like Derrick Lewis, who continues to make jokes about harassing Ronda Rousey, it’s a risky stance for a high-profile fighter.
Adesanya (13-0) remains unranked at 185 pounds, but can likely change that with a big win over No. 8-ranked Tavares on Friday night. Which already has me wondering what he’ll say (or do) at the post-fight press conference.
