Israel Adesanya hits back with proof after fan asks why he dates "only white girls"

Israel Adesanya has a sharp tongue when it comes to retorting to fans who pose questions in a distasteful manner. Recently, he cut to the chase with a direct reply after a fan questioned his dating preferences, specifically why he “only dates white girls.”

The former UFC middleweight champion engaged in a fun Q&A session with fans on Instagram. Without hesitation, Adesanya responded with proof to challenge the fan’s assumptions. The fan questioned:

"Why you only date white girls? Asking for a friend."

Adesanya posted a picture with an unidentified woman and reminded the fan that personal choices shouldn't be met with unsolicited scrutiny. He replied:

"First of all, mind [your] business. Secondly, I live in New Zealand. When I lived in China, I was rocking Chinese women."

Adesanya was recently seen inside the octagon in August against Dricus du Plessis at UFC 305. He lost the fight by submission in the fourth round. 'The Last Stylebender' is going through a rough patch having succumbed to three losses in the last five outings. He revealed after the loss to Du Plessis that he would like to return to action "one more time before the end of this year, or early next year."

Shara Magomedov claims only way for Israel Adesanya to avoid a fight against him is to retire

Shara Magomedov delivered a stunning spinning backfist knockout victory against Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308 which earned him a Performance of the Night bonus. Following the win, Magomedov called out Israel Adesanya for a potential clash.

Magomedov expressed confidence in facing Adesanya, viewing it as a chance to showcase his striking prowess. He also welcomed future challenges against notable middleweights like Marvin Vettori to prove his wrestling skills, among others in the division.

Speaking about a potential clash with Adesanya at the post-fight press conference, Magomedov said:

“I used to chase Israel when he fought kickboxing in China. I was fighting kickboxing in China too. Now that he switched to MMA, and now that I’m here, I’m ready to capture [what he’s had]. I’m ready to fight him [and] it doesn’t matter where.” [H/t: MMA Junkie]

He added:

“I’m in no rush. I’m not running in front of the train. The only way for Israel Adesanya to avoid the fight with me is to retire. Of course, I would like to fight Israel to prove that I’m the best striker in the division."
