After initially sharing some frank thoughts on a lacklustre UFC 276 performance from promotional middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya at last weekend’s T-Mobile Arena event, Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic Park front man, Chris Pratt has retracted his comments, criticizing the 185lbs champion.

Pratt, who attended UFC 276 during International Fight Week – was pictured seated Octagon-side from the opening fight of the night; a bantamweight clash between Jessica-Rose Clark, and Julija Stoliarenko.

Sharing his thoughts on defending middleweight champion, Adesanya’s rather one-sided, yet uneventful unanimous decision win over challenger, Jared Cannonier, Pratt claimed that he was less than impressed with the Nigerian-Kiwi’s performance, urging him to bank on pre-fight talk of a finish.

“I’m gonna say this as humbly as I can, as a guy who never stepped in the Octagon, I don’t know this game, I’m just an actor,” Chris Pratt said. “But I’m not a fan, man. I’m not a fan of coming out, like, all that talk and then just kind of putting on a little bit of a pitter-patter.”

“I’m like, ‘Come on, man. Cash on that.’” Chris Pratt explained. “You’ve got to cash that promise of being so badass. If I bet with my money, I would bet (Israel) Adesanya would’ve done something like that. But I was hoping to see (Jared) Cannonier make it.”

Responding to Pratt’s comments, Adesanya shared footage of the actor, claiming that he was “the man”, and that Pratt was “just some fan”.

“Good morning,” Israel Adesanya tweeted. (Smiling face emoji) I’m the man. You’re just some fan.”

Reacting to Adesanya’s comments with a reply, Pratt agreed that he himself would take umbrage with criticism of his own work, labelling himself a “hypocrite”.

“You’re right,” Chris Pratt tweeted in response to Israel Adesanya. “I’m sorry brutha. It bugs me when people criticize my work – having never themselves risked anything. It makes me a hypocrite to do exactly that to you. My bad. Keep on keeping on champ. (praying hands emoji) (love heart emoji)”

Chris Pratt Questions Israel Adesanya, UFC 276 Performance Following ‘All That Talk’

Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic Park star, Chris Pratt has claimed that he is “not a fan” of UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya’s “pitter-patter” approach to recent division title defenses, explaining how he was left underwhelmed by the titleholder’s UFC 276 headliner against Jared Cannonier.

Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic Park star, Chris Pratt has claimed that he is “not a fan” of UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya’s “pitter-patter” approach to recent division title defenses, explaining how he was left underwhelmed by the titleholder’s UFC 276 headliner against Jared Cannonier.

Israel Adesanya, who headlined Saturday’s card at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada – managed to successfully land his fifth consecutive defense of the division title against Cannonier, however, was met with a series of boos and jeers from the attending audience, as well as receiving criticism for his performance across social media.

Teasing a statement-making performance against the Texan challenger during fight week, Adesanya managed to emerge from ‘Sin City’ with his title in two off the back of a unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 50-45) win, however, many pointed to the Nigerian-Kiwi’s continued tendency to sit on the outside and more-or-less point fight to an extent, without ever over exerting himself en route to another title retention.

Chris Pratt could not hide his disappointment with Israel Adesanya’s UFC 276 display

A severe critic of Israel Adesanya’s performance and display at UFC 276 comes in the form of popular actor, Pratt, who shared his thoughts on the City Kickboxing striker’s approach on the UFC 276 post-fight show.

“I’m gonna say this as humbly as I can, as a guy who never stepped in the Octagon, I don’t know this game, I’m just an actor,” Chris Pratt said on the UFC 276 post-fight show. “But I’m not a fan, man. I’m not a fan of coming out, like, all that talk and then just kind of putting on a little bit of a pitter-patter.”

Adesanya, who received major plaudits across social media for his Undertaker-themed walkout ahead of his main event clash with Cannonier, has been subsequently linked with a sixth attempted title defense against past kickboxing foe, Alex Pereira next – after the Brazilian stamped his premier professional title shot with a first round thumping of the #4 ranked, Sean Strickland on the main card.
