Andrew Tate defends Israel Adesanya amid online backlash following recent loss

Israel Adesanya faced Nassourdine Imavov in the headliner at UFC Saudi Arabia. Despite having a strong first round, the former middleweight champion was knocked out in the second round. His defeat quickly became the subject of trolling, with many fans taking shots at ‘The Last Stylebender’.

One X user mocked Adesanya for his loss, writing:

“Izzy pulled the reverse Pereira. Waved off the ref and got sparked 10 seconds later lmfao.”

This post caught the attention of Andrew Tate, who clapped back at the troll and defended Adesanya. Tate highlighted the courage required to step into the octagon, writing on X:

"I hate when people who don't have the balls to step in the cage type things like "LMFAO." Laughing at the warrior to feel better about being a coward. Izzy is a legend and braver than 99.99% of men alive. Masculine men show respect to those braver than them. Hating is feminine."
