"Little b**ch a** n***a" - Watch Israel Adesanya's live reaction to Manel Kape's post-UFC Tampa "f*ck you" message

Despite the earlier back-and-forth Israel Adesanya was impressed with Manel Kape's UFC Tampa performance. 'Izzy' recently shared his reaction to Kape's performance at UFC Tampa, giving a humorous response to the Portuguese's harsh remarks.

'Starboy' took on Bruno Silva in a flyweight fight at UFC Tampa this past weekend at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The 31-year-old was coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Muhammad Mokaev at UFC 304, filled with controversial moments.

The Angolan put on a dominant display against Silva as he dropped 'Bulldog' to the canvas with some heavy hitting in the third round, which forced the referee to step in and end the clash.

'The Last Stylebender', took to his YouTube channel and uploaded a video reacting to the UFC Tampa card, expressing his admiration for Kape while watching his contest against Silva. He said:

''Distance is on point, oh my god crazy. I don't like the piece of sh*t but you can respect the skills but he's [Kape] on right now.''

During his octagon interview with Michael Bisping, 'Starboy' issued strong words against Adesanya. He said:

''F*ck you Adesanya''

Kape's statements took aback Adesanya. However, he didn't take them seriously and responded carefree. He said:

''I gave the man his credits, he looked nice…let's keep it real man, he fu**ing showed up. This shows I been in his head this whole time. I didn't even think it was like that, but he did well, good job. Little b*tch a** n**a.''

The two previously had a heated altercation at the UFC pre-fight press conference, where Adesanya was upset with 'Starboy' for targeting his teammate Kai Kara-France.

Chael Sonnen reacts to Israel Adesanya vs. Nassourdine Imavov - UFC Saudi Arabia announcement

Israel Adesanya will return for a non-title fight for the first time since 2019. He faces Nassourdine Imavov in a middleweight fight at UFC Saudi Arabia next year. UFC head honcho Dana White announced on social media.

However, UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen uploaded a video on his YouTube channel and voiced his concern with how the matchup was announced, as 'Izzy' used to announce his fights. He said:

''I got to ask you, is Izzy fighting somebody? Because why didn’t I hear it from Izzy, and what’s different? Did it come from Izzy? Is that where you guys got it?...And I am just curious on a new system–a new system that Izzy would have to go through, and you got to understand his last system got interrupted.''
