UFC 276 Video: Israel Adesanya sick of PED accusations, offers $3 million reward for evidence of wrongdoing

Israel Adesanya heads into this weekend’s UFC 276 hoping to defend his UFC middleweight title for the fifth time. Looking to stop him will be Jared Cannonier.

Ahead of this main event, Adesanya has been doing the media rounds. During his press conference yesterday he touched on one of his least favourite subjects: ‘Tittygate’.

That neologism refers to accusations that Adesanya has taken performance enhancing drugs, based solely on the appearance of his chest during his fight with Paulo Costa in 2020. Conspiracy theorists claimed Adesanya’s appearance was evidence that he had gynecomastia, a condition that can be triggered by hormone imbalances commonly associated with steroid use.
