‘It’s not good for the sport’ - Dan Hardy criticizes Israel Adesanya’s ‘crass’ UFC 253 celebration

Some would say Israel Adesanya may have taken it a little too far with his post-fight celebration at UFC 253. After stopping Paulo Costa in the second round to retain the middleweight title, “The Last Stylebender” behaved in a manner that wasn’t exactly PG-13.

And then, there was this.

“Borrachinha” wasn’t pleased with the champ’s antics, and he now wants to exact his revenge. Former UFC title contender turned analyst Dan Hardy shares the same sentiment, which he shared in his exclusive Tuesday scrum in Fight Island.
