Kike Hernandez gives 2-word take on George St-Pierre’s stunned reaction to Israel Adesanya’s loss at UFC Saudi Arabia

Kike Hernandez is an avid UFC fan, and the former LA Dodgers star didn't miss the promotion's second outing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, headlined by Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imavov.

Several high-profile names, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Turki Alalshikh, Tucker Carlson and Georges St. Pierre, aka "GSP," watched the fight live from the ANB Arena in Riyadh. Adesanya lost the fight via brutal knockout, and GSP's heartbreaking reaction went viral on social media.

ESPN MMA's official channel posted the video on Instagram, and Hernandez dropped a two-word comment.

"SAME SAME," Hernandez wrote, possibly meaning he too was rooting for Adesanya.

In the video, people next to GSP stood up ecstatically to celebrate Imavov's victory. However, the former two-division UFC champion's expression showed disbelief.

Even though he is French-Canadian, GSP seemed to support the Nigerian-born Kiwi over the Dagestani-born Frenchman. The 43-year-old had met Adesanya before and had publicly expressed their mutual admiration.

Despite protesting the stoppage by referee Marc Goddard, the former long-reigning middleweight champion showed respect to his opponent and wished him well, inside the Octagon and backstage.

The loss to Imavov has extended Adesanya's winless streak to three. Adesanya's present scenario mirrors Kamaru Usman, his close friend and former long-reigning welterweight champion. After a 15-fight winning streak in the division, Usman has lost three in a row, one at middleweight.

As for his professional career, Hernandez is now a free agent. The two-time World Series champion is a favorite among Dodgers fans. In the recently concluded DodgerFest, president Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts openly expressed their willingness to have Hernandez back on the team.

As per Sportrac, Hernandez currently has a $2,769,168 market value for one year. He was paid $4,000,000 last season and $10,000,000 the season before. Even though his numbers in the regular season are not enviable, Hernandez's postseason performance has been elite.
