Fresh off his win over Martin Vettori at UFC on FOX 29, Israel Adesanya made an appearance on Submission Radio yesterday on video to chat about a bunch of stuff.
Some of the topics covered:
On his spaghetti comments
“The Italians are being salty and I’m like, I love Italy. You know, they’re saying I was being racist because I said something about spaghetti. Who doesn’t fucken love spaghetti? And he tried to claim that if he had said something about me (he would’ve gotten in trouble). I‘m like, everyone loves fried chicken and watermelon, fuck you mean? How is that racist? I’m sick of these bitches on the internet. Like, I love spaghetti, I love lasagne, I love Italian pussy. I mean, everything, it’s fair game. It’s all fair in love and war. So, they can cry about it all they want, but hey, a win’s a win, and I stay winning.”
On Vettori being pissed off post-fight about the “spaghetti comments” and saying he’d slap Israel if he sees him again
“I wish a n**ger would. He had 15 minutes to do what, to try and slap me. Bitch, he couldn’t do shit to me. Even when people go, ‘oh I think you lost that fight’. I love his acting. He deserves an Oscar for that, for after when I got announced the winner, the way he was like (acting frustrated) and just stormed out the cage. His acting, oh *clicking fingers* bravo, bravo. His acting chops were on. He might have to pick up (an Oscar). I mean, you see me, I’m objective and I’m honest about my assessment of my performance and I know what I have to do to get better. If you have that kind of attitude when you lost the fight and you want to keep it in your head like ‘oh, I won that fight,’ and you have all these yes-men feeding you that shit like, ‘oh, you won that bro,’ I mean, he’s not gonna get far. I said after the fight, ‘I might see you at the top,’ but with this kind of attitude, fuck no, he’s going to get cut. He’s gonna get dropped soon.”
If he saw Vettori later that night
“Fuck no. If he saw me he could have (tried to slap me). I wish someone would. I mean, what’s he gonna do? He couldn’t even walk. I beat the fuck out of his front leg, he couldn’t even walk properly. So, I’m healing. My eye was fat. It’s like 70 percent better now. You wait. I guess black guys can get black eyes. But I mean, he’s gonna slap me? This is keyboard warrior shit not a… I should have expected that from him cause he’s a fuckboy. You know, he’s relishing in my downfall at the hand of someone else. And he’s the kind of person, his character spoke for itself during the fight, before the fight and after the fight. So, he’s a fuckboy for real, for real. And I really wanted to knock him out, and that was the thing, I wanted to knock him out, my coach said, ‘just let it happen’. You know, in the third round he was ready to go, but I was thinking too much, I didn’t let it happen. So yeah, if you saw me, I bet you, I’ll put fucken money on it, he wouldn’t do shit, he wouldn’t slap me. He’s just trying… he’s Italy’s guy, so he has to try to be the hero for the people, so he has to try and save face, but he’s gotta talk all the shit online? You had a chance to (slap me). I was at the hotel after the fight, I was around. Why didn’t he? So yeah, fuck him.”
