Israel Adesanya may as well just quit while he’s ahead.
Earlier this week, in the lead up to his co-headlining interim title bout with Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 236, ‘The Last Stylebender’ went on a tirade against soft spoken middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, telling ‘The Reaper to ‘get the f-ck out of here.’
Well, that insult didn’t exactly faze Whittaker and it probably wasn’t the reaction Adesanya was looking for. In fact, Whittaker went out of his way to apologise to Adesanya for offending him and wished the former kickboxing champ the best of luck in his upcoming middleweight title fight versus Gastelum.
