Israel Adesanya was recently shown in a road rage incident in which he got into a verbal interaction with an unidentified man. The UFC athlete Adesanya looks to press charges on the assailant.

Israel Adesanya Road Rage Incident

The UFC fighter Israel Adesanya was recently filmed in a cell phone video that went viral in which he and another man were engaged in an argument.

Speaking to the NZ Herald, Israel Adesanya explained:

“On Wednesday morning, I was leaving a cafe on K Rd when a passing car slowed, and an occupant began yelling racial abuse and challenging me to fight.

“I smiled, waved it off, and continued to my car. The vehicle stopped, and the abuse continued. I again waved it off. The car then parked, and the passenger got out, approached me aggressively, continued his torrent of abuse, and demanded I fight him. I tried to de-escalate the situation repeatedly. As he got closer, I asked bystanders to call the police.

“He then entered my personal space, and I felt threatened. To protect myself, I became more forceful in my language and defensive. Though he paused, the abuse continued, so I left him with some choice words, cautiously moved to my car, and drove away.

“It’s ridiculous that I can’t buy a pie after training without some idiot screaming despicable things and asking for a fight while his mates film from the sidelines.

“Threatening violence is no joke. It’s very dangerous, and incidents like this must not be glorified online. I hope in the future people say something rather than get their phones out to film.”

Professional fighter Adesanya seemed to have been looking to de-escalate the situation in which this person was calling him racially abusive names. The UFC fighter hopes that the Auckland, New Zealand police will press charges against the unidentified man.

Israel Adesanya may have squashed the beef with Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 305 but it hasn’t taken him long before getting back into a heated altercation.

“The Last Stylebender”, as he previously stated he would, went back to Nigeria after coming up short in Perth several weeks ago.

Though he hasn’t been back in New Zealand for long, city life in Auckland has quickly caught back up with him.

The former UFC middleweight champion hasn’t been known for getting into arguments or conflict with members of the general public but that’s exactly what was captured on video.

Israel Adesanya Gets Into A Heated Confrontation In New Zealand, Spits And Curses At A Man

A recently posted video shows Adesanya standing outside his McLaren 720S Spider, having a confrontation with an aggressive man who has walked over to the car.

The clip appears to capture the end of the interaction as it immediately starts with Adesanya already standing outside the vehicle, telling the person that he isn’t going to fight him for free – because it’s his job.

Whatever happened between them before the video started clearly got to “The Last Stylebender” who is very rarely this agitated. For his part, the man does motion towards Adesanya, flexing, as though he wants to fight him.

“I get paid for this s***, f*** off you little b****. That’s right, walk away, go drive your f****** beat up f****** s***.”

Adesanya continues to curse towards the man who continues to stand across from him.

The final seconds of the video sees the person recording drive past them as Adesanya spits towards the man he is arguing with before saying “I pray for you to try me, I’d pay for you to try me”, shutting his car door at the same time.

UFC Champion Feels Kamaru Usman’s Legacy Doesn’t Compare With Israel Adesanya Or Alexander Volkanovski

Welterweight champion Belal Muhammad has been trading some comments with the title’s former holder, Kamaru Usman.

Welterweight champion Belal Muhammad has been trading some comments with the title’s former holder, Kamaru Usman.

Despite being without a win since his second victory over Colby Covington, “The Nigerian Nightmare” is still very much in the title mix at 170-pounds.

He may have lost back-to-back fights against Leon Edwards and came up short when attempting to beat Khamzat Chimaev up a weight class on late notice, but his prior winning streak in the division speaks for itself.

Muhammad, however, doesn’t have the same kind of respect for the run that Usman went on, mostly because of his conduct when he was the champion.

Belal Muhammad Says Kamaru Usman Picked Opponents During His Welterweight Title Reign

Muhammad always felt that during his own welterweight winning streak, he was being overlooked by the guys at the top who didn’t want to fight him.

He had this issue with Edwards before they met in a rematch at UFC 304 and he has the same problem with Usman.

In an interview with Submission Radio, he spoke about why he doesn’t believe that the former champion deserves another shot at the title without returning to the win column first.

The current titleholder, who appears to be facing Shavkat Rakhmonov next, says that Usman chose to ignore him and other viable contenders like Vicente Luque in order to take bigger money fights against the likes of Jorge Masvidal.

Comparing Usman to other long-reigning champions of this era in Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski, Muhammad believes that he isn’t in the same conversation because he picked opponents instead of fighting the next best guy at all times.

“If you wanted to cement yourself as the best welterweight, you do what Adesanya did or Volkanovski, who’s the next best guy. Who’s the guy that’s right there and he didn’t do that. So for him to say like now he’s calling my name, like oh now you noticed me because I have the target on my back but before you act like you didn’t know who I was. I’ve been chasing you, I’ve been here, I’ve been talking.”

Despite the loss to du Plessis, Adesanya remains transfixed in advancing his fighting career. He’s plotting a potential return by the end of 2024 against another top middleweight contender.

In the meantime, Adesanya remains a massive global star, despite some of his recent struggles. Salah, one of the English Premier League’s biggest names, mimicked Adesanya’s post-fight celebration after the fighter knocked out Alex Pereira at UFC 287.
