Israel Adesanya did a ‘shoey’ at UFC Adelaide, and his mom wasn’t pleased

Israel Adesanya was cageside this weekend as a special guest during the UFC’s event in Adelaide. When put on camera, the New Zealand-based fighter decided to do a shoey, an homage to the Australian tradition of sorts.

While the Australian crowd enjoyed the gesture, Adesanya’s mother clearly wasn’t pleased that her son drank beer from a shoe. The middleweight contender shared their exchange on social media.

His mom’s Viber messages are as follows:

“Son, for God’s sake, please DON’T DO THIS AGAIN! You have a sensitive tummy, I know it is your show but not healthy.
