Israel Adesanya may have squashed the beef with Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 305 but it hasnât taken him long before getting back into a heated altercation.
âThe Last Stylebenderâ, as he previously stated he would, went back to Nigeria after coming up short in Perth several weeks ago.
Though he hasnât been back in New Zealand for long, city life in Auckland has quickly caught back up with him.
The former UFC middleweight champion hasnât been known for getting into arguments or conflict with members of the general public but thatâs exactly what was captured on video.
Israel Adesanya Gets Into A Heated Confrontation In New Zealand, Spits And Curses At A Man
A recently posted video shows Adesanya standing outside his McLaren 720S Spider, having a confrontation with an aggressive man who has walked over to the car.
The clip appears to capture the end of the interaction as it immediately starts with Adesanya already standing outside the vehicle, telling the person that he isnât going to fight him for free â because itâs his job.
Whatever happened between them before the video started clearly got to âThe Last Stylebenderâ who is very rarely this agitated. For his part, the man does motion towards Adesanya, flexing, as though he wants to fight him.
âI get paid for this s***, f*** off you little b****. Thatâs right, walk away, go drive your f****** beat up f****** s***.â
Adesanya continues to curse towards the man who continues to stand across from him.
The final seconds of the video sees the person recording drive past them as Adesanya spits towards the man he is arguing with before saying âI pray for you to try me, Iâd pay for you to try meâ, shutting his car door at the same time.
It happened in New Zealand not Nigeria. Maybe change Headline

Israel Adesanya has addressed the recent report of his involvement in a road rage incident.
Earlier this week, footage surfaced of the two-time UFC middleweight champion getting into an animated argument with another driver on the streets of Auckland, New Zealand. On Thursday, the New Zealand Herald published a statement from Adesanya in which he claims that the incident stemmed from the other driver making racially-charged comments.
âI am extremely disappointed after an incident on Wednesday when a random member of the public stopped his car, racially abused me, and challenged me to a fight,â Adesanya said in the statement. âWe have been in contact with police and will be pressing charges.
âOn Wednesday morning, I was leaving a cafe on K Rd when a passing car slowed, and an occupant began yelling racial abuse and challenging me to fight. I smiled, waved it off, and continued to my car. The vehicle stopped, and the abuse continued. I again waved it off. The car then parked, and the passenger got out, approached me aggressively, continued his torrent of abuse, and demanded I fight him. I tried to de-escalate the situation repeatedly. As he got closer, I asked bystanders to call the police.
âHe then entered my personal space, and I felt threatened. To protect myself, I became more forceful in my language and defensive. Though he paused, the abuse continued, so I left him with some choice words, cautiously moved to my car, and drove away.
âItâs ridiculous that I canât buy a pie after training without some idiot screaming despicable things and asking for a fight while his mates film from the sidelines. Threatening violence is no joke. Itâs very dangerous, and incidents like this must not be glorified online. I hope in the future people say something rather than get their phones out to film.â
Everywhere he goes is little Nigeria
Slamming vertical/scissor doors on a car is not very masculine.
He seems like the kind of guy that when being âracially abusedâ will âsmile and wave it offâ.
I miss the poop reaction.
