UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has heard the praise the UFC Hall-of-Famer Georges St-Pierre has given him, and he’s letting him know it’s appreciated.
Following Adesanya’s second-round knockout of rival Paulo Costa at UFC 253, former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre gave an interview with ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, where he called Adesanya “a perfect fighter,” and noted that, “our job is to entertain the audience, and he’s doing it very, very well.”
In response, Adesanya had this to say about the legendary fighter (H/T MMA Junkie):
“GOATs recognize GOATs… Bless you, Monsieur St-Pierre. Merci beaucoup. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. That’s a beautiful compliment coming from a GOAT, because GOATs recognize GOATS. Honestly, it’s beautiful hearing that from him, from a guy who I’ve watched for years and I was a fan of.
“Don’t get me wrong, Silva was my guy. Artistry, this is martial arts. St-Pierre held himself to a certain code like no other, same as Anderson. But yeah, it’s beautiful. It’s cool that someone like that can be – not that I needed it, but it’s nice. It feels good to be recognized by a great like that, so salut monsieur, St-Pierre.”
The undefeated Adesanya has yet to be booked for his next title defense, but it is widely believed that he will face the winner of Robert Whitaker vs Jared Cannonier, who square off in the co-main event of UFC 254 later this month in Abu Dhabi.

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya doesn’t expect to ever run it back with Brazilian knockout artist Paulo Costa.
‘Stylebender’ eased by Costa in the UFC 253 main event last month. The 185lb king needed just two rounds to pick up the win and defend his title for the second time. Since the fight, Costa has been angrily pursuing a rematch but Adesanya doubts it will ever come to fruition and advised his rival to let it go.
“I don’t think I ever see him again to be honest,” Adesanya told MMA Fighting. “I think this is going to be like Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo. He has to let it go. I’ve done it to him. I’ve embarrassed him. He just has to accept it and realize ‘my mouth wrote checks my ass couldn’t cash and Israel likes to collect.’ It happened and let it go. So that’s my advice to him cause that’s what I did.”
Adesanya went on to talk about his approach to suffering losses during his career, namely his KO defeat to Alex Pereira. He advised Costa to adopt a similar mindset if he wants to keep evolving as a fighter.
“Even [if] I knock him [Pereira] out if he comes to the UFC, it’s never going to erase what happened,” Adesanya said. “It already happened. You just have to accept it and move on, which is the advice I give Paulo. You’re never going to get this one back. If by some crazy miracle or work ethic he does come up in the rankings again, he can’t unf*ck himself, you know what I mean?
“I never really looked to go chase any losses that I’ve had back,” Adesanya explained. “I’ve gotten a few back in the past but that’s just cause they came up and I was like right, this is my chance at redemption but I’m fine with where I’m at. So he has to be all right with where he’s at and move on.”
