Israel Adesanya spits at man during road rage incident

Israel Adesanya was recently roped into an altercation with an angry driver.

Picking a fight with one of the greatest fighters in the world isn’t the smartest thing to do. Despite his accolades in combat sports, that is exactly what happened to ‘The Last Stylebender’ earlier this week.

The 6′ 4″ titan and kickboxing standout is no one to be messing with, but a random man found out the hard way during a recent road rage confrontation. 

Israel Adesanya was spotted becoming heated with a civilian who reportedly attempted to ‘press’ him. The random man can be seen slowly advancing toward Adesanya as the UFC star looked to be readying himself to throw hands. 

Adesanya can be heard shouting at the man throughout the entire incident.

“Try me,” Adesanya said to the confrontational man. “Yeah, I get paid for this sh*t.”

“F*** off you little b*tch. F*** off. Go drive your beat up f***ing sh*t, you’re a f***ing b*tch. F*** you. F*** you, b*tch.”

Much of the words were cut out by the sound of passing traffic, but the final moments caught on video looked like the argument was about to escalate.

Adesanya pleaded with the man to try something before spitting at him.

“Try me. I pray for you to try me,” Adesanya said before he spit at the man. “I pray for you to try me. I pray for you to try me.”

Israel Adesanya’s future in the sport is uncertain after losing back-to-back title fights. Despite approaching an uncommon point in his career, Adesanya did announce that he will not be retiring after his loss at UFC 305.

The Nigerian competed against division rival Dricus Du Plessis for middleweight gold. Though he looked impressive throughout, the 35-year-old was unable to stop the champion from sinking in the submission and retaining his title.
