UFC 293: $4M Worth Israel Adesanya Trolled For Confirming Red Gear For 1st Time- ‘China’

The Last Stylebender also has a distinctive sense of style. But every action he takes in front of the public is deliberate. At UFC 293, “The Last Stylebender” will wear red trunks. Interestingly, after his trunks’ colour was made public, fight fans started to debate about it.

Israel Adesanya, the middleweight champion of the UFC, is renowned for making every moment of the fight memorable for MMA fans, including the walkout, the battle, and the post-fight interview.

Israel Adesanya Trolled For Confirming Red Gear For 1st Time In UFC 293

Sean Strickland, the fifth-ranked middleweight in the UFC, Israel Adesanya’s opponent at UFC 293, has criticised him for his ties to the People’s Republic of China. Strickland based his statements on old footage of Adesanya hoisting the Chinese flag.

But rather than responding to the outspoken warrior, “The Last Stylebender” has admitted his love for the Asian nation after spending much time there. Fans made the connection between Israel Adesanya’s trunk colour and the “Chinese champion” controversy after the UFC’s official Twitter account uploaded a photo of him during fight week wearing Venum apparel.

Sean Strickland has vociferous political beliefs and has frequently criticised the People’s Republic of China. ‘The Last Stylebender’ did not directly respond to Tarzan’s comments about the nation and his mockery of Adesanya for becoming the Chinese champion. The two-time UFC middleweight champion did, however, upload a video of himself dining with a Chinese individual. Adesanya threatened to disqualify Strickland in the video for making fun of his “Chinese country.”

The majority of fans believe that Israel Adesanya’s fight trunks are crimson in an effort to jab Sean Strickland. Here are some of the comments that caught our eye after they were posted in the Twitter post’s comments section:

Damn i wanna know why he chose red it's Adesanya there has to be a reason lol
