Israel Adesanya Blasts Critics Following UFC 276 Win: “What The F**k Are You Guys Watching?”

Israel Adesanya brushed off the criticism from last night’s main event despite being boo’d by the largely pro-Adesanya crowd. At UFC 276, Adesanya (23-1) defended his middleweight crown against ‘The Killa Gorilla’ Jared Cannonier (15-6).

Israel Adesanya brushed off the criticism from last night’s main event despite being boo’d by the largely pro-Adesanya crowd.

At UFC 276, Adesanya (23-1) defended his middleweight crown against ‘The Killa Gorilla’ Jared Cannonier (15-6). Despite taking home the unanimous decision win (49–46, 49–46, 50–45), Israel Adesanya was met with boos from the crowd as he exited the arena. This prompted the middleweight champ to lash out in the post-fight media scrum.

“F—k em. F—k em,” he said. “They’ve all been here since 3PM, they’re all drunk. They don’t know what real fighting is or real finesse. Look, I’ve said this: the greats, they all get to this point. I’ve seen it when I was just a fan. Still a fan. Anderson Silva. GSP. I remember fights where I was like ‘That was a fantastic fight’ and people were just booing them. GSP. One of the GOATs. And people would just boo them. And I’m like what the f—k are you guys watching? You dumb f—ks.”

Israel Adesanya Wasn’t About To Risk His Health For “Some Drunk Folks”

Prior to the fight, Adesanya had predicted a dominant win over Cannonier and even promised to finish the number one contender. Having increased the stakes, Adesanya failed to deliver on his promise, which is perhaps why the crowd felt let down and voiced their frustrations.

But Adesanya wasn’t too concerned about that.

“I fought tonight, I fought my ass off tonight,” he said. “I didn’t feel like I was chilling or waiting, I was pressing the action, I was going for it. I was touching him up. But like I said, I was critical because I couldn’t get my power stuff going. I couldn’t get the change-ups going. He was a formidable opponent. You can’t sleep on this guy cuz he’ll sleep you. And I’m not going to risk my health, risk my brain. I do that, but I’m not going to do it stupidly just for the entertainment of some gringos, some drunk folks.”

It’s a bad look when your ring entrance is more entertaining than the fight, in the eyes of the public. Israel Adesanya will have a chance to correct all wrongs as signs point to a title fight against his former kickboxing rival, Alex Pereira, who scored the biggest win of his career by knocking out Sean Strickland.

Khamzat Chimaev Calls Out Alex Pereira After UFC 276 Sean Strickland Knockout

After a devastating finish by Alex Pereira at UFC 276, Khamzat Chimaev has now set his sights on his next desired opponent.

After a devastating finish by Alex Pereira at UFC 276, Khamzat Chimaev has now set his sights on his next desired opponent.

While the main and co-main event of UFC 276 didn’t really live up to expectations, one fight stood out as an impressive and intimidating performance by a UFC newcomer. ‘Poatan’ landed a clean left hook that dropped Strickland to a knee, and followed that up with a missile of a right hand that sent ‘Tarzan’ crashing to the canvas.

In only his third fight in the UFC, Alex Pereira had now broken into the top five of the middleweight rankings and has seemingly solidified a rematch with a man he knocked out in kickboxing, Israel Adesanya, for the middleweight title. However, with Khamzat Chimaev throwing his name into the mix, could this change things?

Khamzat Chimaev Wants War With Alex Pereira After Impressive UFC 276 Performance

‘Borz’ most recently saw action when he faced Gilbert Burns at UFC 273. The fight is still regarded as one of the best of this year (so far) and by the time this year ends, may stand as the fight of the year.

It was a back-and-forth brawl that left no stone unturned. Both men had to dig deep, and it was surprising at the time that the fight ended via decision. As both endured so much damage that the fight easily could’ve been over several times.

Now, Khamzat Chimaev seems to be ready to get back into the cage, with his call out of Alex Pereira after UFC 276. Taking to Twitter, Chimaev would send a direct message to Dana White and the UFC.

“I’m want to fight with this guy @UFC @DanaWhite let’s make it,” he said.

Obviously not afraid of the devastating knockout ability of ‘Poatan’, ‘Borz’ has staked his claim on the fight he wants next. It’s unclear if Chimaev gets the fight or not, but if he does, it would surely be an insane test for both fighters.

Would you rather see Alex Pereira face Israel Adesanya or Khamzat Chimaev next?

Video | Israel Adesanya Makes Spine-Chilling Undertaker-Inspired Walkout Ahead Of UFC 276 Victory

The worlds of both professional wrestling and mixed martial arts clashes more than once on last night’s monumental UFC 276 card in Las Vegas, Nevada – with event headliner, Israel Adesanya, stealing the show with his Undertaker-inspired walkout ahead of his main event outing against Jared Cannonier.

The worlds of both professional wrestling and mixed martial arts clashes more than once on last night’s monumental UFC 276 card in Las Vegas, Nevada – with event headliner, Israel Adesanya, stealing the show with his Undertaker-inspired walkout ahead of his main event outing against Jared Cannonier.

Headlining last night’s T-Mobile Arena event against the #2 ranked challenger, Cannonier, Israel Adesanya successfully defended his undisputed middleweight crown for the fifth time – courtesy of a rather routine unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 50-45) triumph over the course of five rounds.

Israel Adesanya managed to comfortably out-point Jared Cannonier over five rounds

Employing a patented and familiar, distance management gameplan against Cannonier – similar to approaches in recent matchups against the trio of Robert Whittaker, Marvin Vettori, and Yoel Romero – Israel Adesanya coasted over the course of the latter rounds to continue his perfect career run at 185lbs.

Treated to a pair of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) styled walkouts last night, Jessica-Rose Clark kicked off proceedings on the early preliminary card, walking out to WWE SuperStar, Shawn Michaels’ theme song, ‘Sexy Boy’.

Ahead of the night’s main event, however, Adesanya stole the show – right in front of WWE leaders and operators, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and Triple H – walking out to a flood of purple lights and smoke, donning a cowboy hat, and an urn – with the name of ‘Jared’ engraved on it, all to the music of professional wrestling legend and Hall of Fame inductee, The Undertaker.

Off the back of a successful title defense against Cannonier, Adesanya already set his aim on defense number six – welcoming the opportunity to avenge two kickboxing losses to middleweight punisher, Alex Pereira.

Earlier on the main card, the Sao Paulo kickboxing ace managed to land a spectacular KO win over the #4 ranked, Sean Strickland in a billed potential title-eliminator – earning his third consecutive UFC victory.

Back in 2017, Pereira, a former two-weight GLORY Kickboxing champion, landed his second career win over City Kickboxing staple, Adesanya, stopping the striking ace with a brutal left hook knockout in his native Brazil.
