In what appears to be a grudge match in the making, the fast rising UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya may have taken things too far when he replied to a Derek Brunson callout with a highly insulting remark to the LGBTQ community.
Here’s how it went down:
Relax the last gender bender Adesanya. I wanna wreck you in your home country . I’ll see you early next year @danawhite @stylebender

Which prompted the following response from Adesanya, who later deleted the highly controversial remarks:
Brunson would go on to continue the feud, but so far nothing from Israel.
You’re easy money . Grappling no good , you hit like a toddler . I put people to sleep when I touch them you’re a tko man. I admit I get greedy sometimes . But not doing that anymore. I’ll put you on your back and destroy you. New Zealand early 2019. I’m wit it! https://t.co/LnlyGFMYUd

Just some clarification. I called Kickboxer kid “the last gender bender Adesanya” I had a few tweet me it was homophobic … get a life , it was a play on words . I don’t judge people on their race or sexual preference . Gender bender to me is swapping clothes for a day in hs?
