Israel Adesanya stunned by explicit callout from flyweight following UFC Tampa win

Following his win over Bruno Silva at UFC Tampa last Saturday, Manel Kape stepped up to the mic and bashed several stars, including surprisingly Israel Adesanya.

Since joining the UFC in 2021, fans have been optimistic about Manel Kape's career, but he has yet to live up to expectations.

Nevertheless, he bounced back from his loss to Muhammad Mokaev earlier this year with an extremely dominant win over Bruno Silva last Saturday at UFC Tampa.

Following his third-round TKO victory over the 34-year-old Brazilian, 'Starboy' received a pair of callouts, each far more bizarre than the last. Kape called for a flyweight title shot against Alexandre Pantoja, hoping to skip the line.

“F*ck Kai Kara-France, f*ck (Brandon) Moreno, f*ck (Israel) Adesanya,” Kape said in his Octagon interview.

The two previously clashed at the UFC 293 press conference after Kape went after Kara-France for withdrawing from their fight and, of course, Adesanya backed his teammate by confronting the flyweight.

“That was a great performance, man,” Adesayna responded to Kape's performance.

'Why did he say 'f*ck me'? Man, I give this guy credit, he looked nice, and then he said “f*ck you.” I'll still keep it real, he fucking showed it. This shows that I was in his head the whole time, I didn't think I was, but he did a good job. Good job little b*tch ass n****,” he continued.

Israel Adesanya is gearing up for his first non-title fight in five years as his return is confirmed

Over the weekend, the promotion confirmed that Adesanya's return will take place on February 1, while the UFC returns to Saudi Arabia for their second event, with 'The Last Stylebender' taking on Nassourdine Imavov in the main event.

The former middleweight champion is seemingly not done yet in his quest for the title as he looks to halt the 'Russian Sniper's' three-fight winning streak.

With a win over Imavov at UFC Saudi Arabia, Adesanya could immediately find himself back in the title picture, especially considering Dricus Du Plessis is set to defend his title against Sean Strickland in a rematch, despite Strickland only having one win has achieved since their first match. meeting.
