Israel Adesanya shuts down Chris Weidman: ‘Get some wins first, bro’

Israel Adesanya can’t help but laugh at Chris Weidman’s latest callout on social media.

Weidman, the former UFC middleweight champion, said a fight versus Adesanya is “easy money” and touted ‘The Last Stylebender’ as “just another [Anderson] Silva without the black belt in jitsu.”

Fresh of his TKO win over Paulo Costa at UFC 253, Adesanya responded to ‘All-American’ with the following statement.

“It was a bit weird for me, but I already have him figured out,” the reigning UFC middleweight champion told MMA Junkie’s Farah Hannoun and Mike Bohn in a recent interview.
