For years, Israel Adesanya has been dogged by whispers about his sexuality. Why? Because he wears pink and doesn’t flaunt his relationships on social media. But now, it seems he has had just about enough of the peanut gallery. The former UFC middleweight champion recently sat down with Joe Rogan and decided to address some persistent rumors head-on.
Adesanya isn’t taking these jabs lying down anymore. He is responding with a mix of humor and raw honesty that’s as sharp as his striking. And more than that, he threw down the gauntlet to all his critics saying he is gay.
“I’ve been wearing pink my whole life. These guys have been saying I’m gay. Bro, if you think I’m gay, bring your mother around. Bring your sister around. I f*cking love that. Again, I don’t care. I think people think because I never flexed my girlfriends or anything online, they think ‘nah, definitely this guy sus.’ Also because I’m nice and soft,” said Adesanya via The JRE podcast.
Israel Adesanya’s frustration is palpable. The man’s been a dominant force in the UFC, yet some folks are more concerned with who he’s dating than his fight record. The Nigerian-born Kiwi fighter took a moment to break down the “logic” behind these rumors. Apparently, being nice and soft-spoken is now code for being gay.
In a sport where trash talk often devolves into homophobic slurs, Adesanya’s approach is a breath of fresh air. He’s not afraid to be himself, whether that means wearing pink, donning jewelry, or keeping his personal life private.
