Robert Whittaker criticizes Israel Adesanya's UFC 287 celebration after KO win over Alex Pereira

Israel Adesanya finally got a win over his 'Boogeyman' after he knocked out Alex Pereira in stunning fashion in the second round of their UFC 287 main event.

Following his victory, the Nigerian-New Zealander pretended to wield a bow and fire arrows into Pereira, who was lying on the ground unconscious. The newly crowned middleweight champion also dropped to the floor and pretended to be KO'd himself, which 'Poatan's son did to Adesanya when Pereira knocked him out during their second kickboxing bout in 2017.

During an interview with Submission Radio, Whittaker gave his thoughts on Adesanya's UFC 287 celebrations. 'The Reaper' criticized his former opponent for the dig he made towards Alex Pereira's son, but admitted he did also see the funny side.

Whittaker said:

"Mate you don't get revenge on a five-year-old. Any kid that has slighted me in the world, what am I doing? Writing [their names] in my book and then getting them back in 10 years' time. Dude, Israel has a little black book of anybody that crosses him, he puts their name down."
