“Made in China” – Israel Adesanya fully embraces ‘Chinaman’ accusations with hilarious Joe Biden and Donald Trump videos

Israel Adesanya recently took a lighthearted jab at US President Joe Biden. Biden has become a meme on the internet for his poor oration during speeches that have gone viral on social media. Adesanya took one such clip and shared it on his Twitter page.

Meanwhile, Adesanya is gearing up to face his first opponent after winning the Middleweight title for the second time. Adesanya was originally set to clash with Dricus du Plessis in a majorly hyped-up showdown. However, du Plessis later opted out due to injury. Controversial contender Sean Strickland took his place and is ready to face off against Adesanya at UFC 293. The main event will showcase an exciting showdown between the two fighters.

Shifting the attention from the fight, Adesanya leaned in on the criticisms he faces regularly for his affiliation with China. Adesanya resides in New Zealand. However, he has stood out for claiming to represent China despite being of African origin. Instead of issuing a conventional response, Adesanya opted for a playful tactic. His tweet about President Biden’s stumbling speech humorously hinted at his criticisms. “My Mandarin is rusty tho…,” Adesanya tweeted. He also featured former President Donald Trump‘s clipping saying China and wrote, “Made in China”.

This unexpected callback is different from Adesanya’s usual impassioned retorts. Sean Strickland hasn’t let up on reminding the world of Adesanya’s previous assertions about his Chinese identity. He previously referred to a video featuring Adesanya in Chinese commercials from his kickboxing days in Asia.

Israel Adesanya’s time in China

Strickland is popular for his snappy, controversial, and usually hilarious remarks at interviews and press conferences. However, there are not many who expect him to defeat the Middleweight Champion.

Adesanya is recognized for his incredible skill and technique. Adesanya has had an eclectic career that ranged from his illustrious career in China. He opted into the Chinese domestic circuits after his successes in boxing and kickboxing. Adesanya participated in three annual fights and enjoyed significant monetary compensation.

He reminisces about his time in China, where he often fought four times within a single month. Adesanya shared a glimpse of the challenges he encountered within China’s promotions. Fighters were subjected to ‘sketchy’ tactics to tire them physically before their matches. Amidst these unconventional obstacles, Israel Adesanya fondly remembers the experiences he gained. He acknowledged the blend of gritty tactics and valuable memories that define his time in China.
