Israel Adesanya confronts aggressive man and urges him to “go away” in tense argument

Israel Adesanya may have put his beef with Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 305 behind him, but it didn’t take long before he found himself in another intense fight.

“The Last Stylebender”, as he previously announced, has returned to Nigeria after failing in Perth a few weeks ago.

Although he wasn’t back in New Zealand for long, city life in Auckland quickly caught up with him.

The former UFC middleweight champion wasn’t known for getting into arguments or conflicts with the crowd, but that’s exactly what was caught on video.

Recently released footage shows Adesanya standing next to his McLaren 720S Spider and engaging in a confrontation with an aggressive man who approached the car.

The footage shows the end of the interaction, as shortly after it began, Adesanya was already standing outside the vehicle and telling the man that he wasn’t going to fight him for free because it was his job.

Whatever happened between them before the taping began clearly got through to “The Last Stylebender,” who is rarely this worked up. The man, for his part, makes a move toward Adesanya, flexing his muscles as if he wanted to fight him.

“This is the shit I’m getting paid for, fuck off you little b***h. That’s right, go drive your f****** beaten f****** piece of shit.”

Adesanya continues to curse at the man standing across from him.

In the final seconds of the video, the person recording the incident can be seen driving past them and Adesanya spitting at the man he was arguing with before saying, “I pray you try me, I would pay you to try me,” as he closes the car door.
