UFC boss Dana White reacts to Israel Adesanya ‘Mistake’ drunk driving incident: ‘Hopefully he never does it again’

Reacting to recent reports detailing a drunk driving incident involving former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, UFC CEO, Dana White has claimed that hopefully it’s “one-and-done” in that department for the ex-champion.

Adesanya, a former two-time middleweight titleholder under the banner of the promotion, headlined UFC 293 earlier this month in Sydney, Australia – suffering a surprising unanimous decision loss to Sean Strickland in a major upset judging loss.

However, just three weeks prior to that, City Kickboxing staple, Adesanya was charged with drink driving in Auckland Central, New Zealand – returning a blood test 37 millilires above the legal blood alcohol level in the country.
