Andrew Tate is undeniably the most controversial figure on the internet. Israel Adesanya, who has had his share of controversies himself, is not quick to judge “Top G” despite the several criticisms on the internet. Both Adesanya and Tate share a common background as kickboxers and the UFC superstar talks about potentially training with the internet sensation.
Israel Adesanya, leading up to his title fight at UFC 281, was asked about potentially sharing the training mat with a fellow kickboxer, and Adesanya had a very positive response. Adesanya, before his glory in MMA, was a champion in kickboxing. Andrew Tate has been spending a lot of time in Dubai and also met with UFC superstars during his time there.
Some of the popular names were Aljamain Sterling, Leon Edwards, Merab Dvalishivili, and Sean O’Malley. The bantamweight champion, Sterling was heavily criticized for meeting with the controversial kickboxer. Adesanya is puzzled by the backlash Sterling received for meeting Tate.
“A few months ago, before he got ‘canceled’…can’t cancel anyone. Umm, yeah, he just started to pop up on my Instagram. One of my YouTube and I was like, who the f**k’s this guy,” said Adesanya talking to the media. “I saw him in Dubai. People were going at Funkmaster for that. I was like, ‘you can’t hang out with people? The f***?”

Responding to the potential offer to train together, Adesanya said, “If he shows respect, I will show respect…I take things at face value.” Safe to say the internet will break if Tate and Adesanya decide to collaborate. The two former kickboxers are now one of the most popular personalities in the world.

Tate. Dude has the perfect frame and confidence to master Izzy. He’d be making Izzy do his shit at will. He also had a record of like 73-8 in kickboxing or something

Andrew tate is a fraud with a padded record of bums. 4x world champion fighting basically at an amateur/semi pro level lmao. There’s a reason he never went to glory and only went to k1 once, he knew he’d get whooped by people like israel adesanya. https://t.co/KcC4zflhP7

Izzy would knock Tates brain around so much he would come out of the other side of that fight as a third wave radical feminist. https://t.co/b9xhnEwOXv
