Reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya recently made headlines for his scathing public comments directed at his ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell.
Adesanya, who is fresh off a knockout victory over Alex Pereira at UFC 287, is known for keeping his personal life private but seems to have taken a different approach when it comes to Powdrell.
The pair first garnered attention after a photo of him posing with Powdrell surfaced online following his victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 243. Since then, the middleweight champion has refrained from posting anything too personal on his social media - until now.
In a series of stinging Instagram Stories, 'The Last Stylebender' publicly criticized Powdrell, referencing the recent scandal surrounding professional footballer Achraf Hakimi.
