"Ask his coach" - Israel Adesanya gives tongue-in-cheek response to fan's NSFW question about Dricus du Plessis

Ahead of UFC 305, Israel Adesanya took part in a Q&A with the fans at what appears to have been an open workout. One fan, in particular, rehashed an old question once asked by Tom Aspinall to Nina-Marie Daniele, who was present at the event, filming 'The Last Stylebender.'

For reference, during a backstage interview, Aspinall had asked Daniele if she had ever been "f**gered" by an MMA fighter. This prompted a fan to ask 'The Last Stylebender' a similar question about his UFC 305 opponent, Dricus du Plessis.

Both Adesanya and Daniele responded to the question with laughter, before the former middleweight champion seemingly alluded to a physical relationship between du Plessis and the South African's coach. He said:

"I don't know, man. Ask his coach. Anyway, thank you guys, I'll give the tickets—you know what, that's a funny question. Do you have tickets? You don't have tickets? Now you have two tickets."

Check out Israel Adesanya mocking Dricus du Plessis at a Q&A:

Adesanya's answer likely referred to du Plessis' coach often kissing his fighters on the lips following their fights, which 'The Last Stylebender' has mocked before. With the animosity between the two men ahead of their bout, the pre-fight press conference will likely yield several emotionally charged moments.

While Adesanya is a known trash-talker, du Plessis is no stranger to heated press conferences, having gotten the better of vitriolic trash-talker Sean Strickland leading up to their UFC 297 title clash, which the South African won.

This isn't the first time that Israel Adesanya has taunted Dricus du Plessis

Earlier today, Israel Adesanya took to X to taunt Dricus du Plessis. He shared a picture of the South African from the latter's TKO win over Robert Whittaker. The picture is edited to include supposed words uttered by du Plessis himself, only taken out of context to alter their meaning into something more sexually charged.

"Good morning...again. Lol his words not mine"

For his part, du Plessis has remained fairly serious. How this will translate to their bout this Saturday remains to be seen, as both men have much to prove.
