Former UFC middleweight kingpin Israel Adesanya has shared a four-word reaction after modifying his Kurama-themed McLaren 720S once again. 'The Last Stylebender's' garage boasts several top quality vehicles.
In 2019, Israel Adesanya became the undisputed UFC middleweight champion by dethroning Robert Whittaker at UFC 243. That same year, Adesanya purchased the McLaren 720S Spider.
Outside the octagon, 'The Last Stylebender' is an anime fan and has named his aforementioned supercar 'Kurama.' For the uninitiated, in the Japanese manga 'Naruto' 'Kurama' is the strongest amongst the nine tailed beasts.
In 2025, Adesanya has modified his supercar again. This time the mods are handled by a popular street artist named Matthew Te Paea. On Instagram, the artist revealed that modifications are ongoing and shared a picture on his story, tagging Adesanya and captioning it:

When Israel Adesanya revealed the reason for naming his McLaren 720S Spider 'Kurama'
In a previous interview with GQ sports, Israel Adesanya explained why he named his car 'Kurama.' According to the UFC fighter, the car is a “spitting image” of the demon fox.
He said:
"The car itself looks like a spitting image of Kurama, the nine-tail demon fox, from the series 'Naruto'. So, it was meant to be. That was my tilt beast. I named it Kurama as well. And that set me back about half a million."
