Israel Adesanya lost to Alex Pereira via TKO at UFC 281
This past weekend was not an easy one for former UFC champion Israel Adesanya. The superstar faced a devastating loss to his nemesis, Alex Pereira, at UFC 281 which has resulted in several trolls attacking the former champ.
While brutal trolls from fans were expected after the loss of Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. Little did anyone expect a reputed sports company like ESPN MMA’s official Twitter handle to post an edit that took digs at “The Last Stylebender”. Not long ago, Adesanya said he would leave Pereira “Frozen Like Elsa” in his post-fight octagon interview at UFC 276.
Alex Pereira, his opponent has also addressed this line and took shots at his nemesis in the lead-up to this past weekend’s middleweight title bout. After “Poatan” knocked out the former champion, many fans dug up the quote from the superstar and poked fun at him. Earlier today, ESPN MMA’s official Twitter handle posted an edit that you’d most likely see a troll on a Twitter post.
Fans are outraged that the official broadcast partner of UFC would disrespect a PPV star like Israel Adesanya with an edit like that. Fans were split reacting to a handle like ESPN MMA posting a video of such. This was not the first time Adesanya and his fans have felt disrespect from ESPN.
