Why do people support Israel Adesanya?

separate the fighter from the WWE shit

it sounds like you're a conor casual who is more into the social media drama

adesanya is a great striker, more often than not he's in exciting technical fights that are very high level and enticing to watch. he's also willing to move up in weight and fight champions at higher weight classes

i don't care if he's an anime dork outside of the cage because in the cage he's a fucking killer.

khabib probably wants to ban all rap music and have women at home in veils and supports kadyrov's genocide. why support him? because i'm watching this for fights and he's a great fucking fighter. i'm not looking to fighters for personality tips
 
There are quite a lot of Adesanya supporters in here and elsewhere which got me wondering what do they see in him? I can’t think of anything positive about him and the way I see it, he is easily the top 5 most cringiest and unbearable fighter in the UFC.

So, help me understand Adesanya supporters, what do you see in him?


I don’t see him caring to much about your support. Not everyone gives a shit about getting likes. We’re not all ussies. But then again, that diversity is what makes this country great! Be you tho. I said be you tho.
 
He is an amazing martial artist. You fucking casuals that watch this shit for drama wouldn't understand what you're seeing if a world class MMA coach explained it to you frame by frame.
 
Most of his sherdog fans like how explosive he is.
 
You are thinking too deeply.

He's a great fighter who generally puts on exciting fights.

That's 90 percent of his support.
 
I like that he gave his first UFC belt to his coach (I think). Bowed down and gave him lots of respect them have him his belt. I like that sign of respect
 
We need a cringe top 5 for clarity.

Garbrandt dancing, DC, DC, Colby, Izzy ?

Who's missing ...

Woodly, Jorge, TJ, Triple C, Kenny Florian yelling "i finish fights"
 
He's a great fighter and entertaining to watch.

Whats the reason to hate him?

Is it cause he's black? Cause he's cocky in his abilities? He likes anime? he's dyed his hair so maybe he's bi or gay?

Shit I guess theres actually alot of reasons the Colby types in here would hate him.
 
His striking is interesting to watch, and at times is super dynamic and fun. I already accepted hes a weirdo so it dosen't bother me much anymore, I just appretiate him for the elite kickboxer he is.
 
most are Anderson fans...great striker. You can't deny that about him...who else do you think can hang with him in stand up? He doesn't have the greatest personality but this isn't a beauty contest...I still think Jon Bones would rape him in the cage...
 
1. Very active
2.Exciting
3. Intelligent
4. Unique personality

I think most of you hating on him are being close minded and not listening to what he’s saying. He’s cocky, but he’s a good dude

Glad someone's acknowledging these things.
 
He’s a bit of a dork, but I thought he seemed like a cool enough guy on the JRE last year. Definitely a pleasure to watch fight too. There’s something pretty special about watching someone with real mastery execute their game in mma especially in an era of so many masters of none.
 
He is just common dude from the streets, who plays video games, steals all the girls and kicks ass, he is easy to relate to.
