Former two-time middleweight kingpin, Israel Adesanya has thanked controversial social influencer and commentator, Andrew Tate for support following his stunning knockout loss at UFC Saudi Arabia this month — after the latter defended him from critics and trash talk.
Adesanya, a former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, returned to action earlier this month at UFC Saudi Arabia — headlining the promotion’s return to Riyadh in a showdown with surging French-Russian contender, Nassourdine Imavov.
And suffering his third consecutive loss following pair of title fight defeats to both Dricus du Plessis, and Sean Strickland, City Kickboxing star, Adesanya was felled with a spectacular second round knockout loss.
