Two fighters trolling each other ahead of a fight are common in combat sports. The most recent remark of Israel Adesanya on Dricus du Plessis has become a topic of discussion among fans. The netizens lashed out at the two-time former UFC middleweight champ for trying to hit DDP through NSFW content.
Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis have not been known as best of friends. Their long ongoing feud has now been escalating as their fight day approaches. In continuation of those verbal shots, Adesanya tried to make a mockery of DDP by highlighting their genitals in a recent post on X.
Izzy captioned the post with “Good morning everyone, except DDP,” and then marked their genitals with a circle in the picture. Adesanya has often been involved in such banters and trolling since his rivalry against Alex Pereira. However, now, Dricus du Plessis is just another subject for Izzy to troll.
Both Izzy and DDP have kept everyone in the community on their toes. Their ‘Real African champion’ debate is one of the most intriguing topics that interest MMA fans. Not only that, Adesanya has even vowed to finish the current middleweight champ and retain his belt.
However, not only Izzy but even DDP has taken many shots at the former champion ahead of their fight. Interestingly, not many fans were happy upon hearing the announcement of Adesanya vs. Du Plessis. The Nigerian-born Kiwi fighter’s recent remarks against DDP have just become another reason for fans to reject Izzy.
Israel Adesanya has been an excellent fighter. The Nigerian-born Kiwi fighter is known for his mastery of kickboxing. Over the course of his career at UFC, Izzy has garnered the attention of many fans through his exquisite performances. At times, the MMA fans would go baffled as Adesanya entered the UFC arena with his unique walkout gimmicks.

Per their reactions, they did not entertain a UFC fighter to make such derogatory remarks about the other. Some felt comparing the size of each other’s genitals felt a bit childish coming from the 35-year-old Adesanya. Check out some of the reactions below.

Many felt it was unnecessary for Izzy to post such content as they labeled it as ‘cringe.’ DDP has not responded to this yet, as he looks focused on defending his crown a second time. On the other hand, Adesanya has a chance to make history by becoming only the second person to claim the middleweight crown thrice.
