So, I was kicking back the other day, just scrolling through fight news, trying to avoid thinking about the leaky faucet I still haven’t fixed. Saw something about Israel Adesanya, think it was about his last fight or maybe the upcoming Strickland one, UFC 312 maybe? Anyway, down in the comments, someone pops up with the usual question: ‘israel adesanya gay?’. It seems to come up a lot.
Honestly, I’d seen it before, people talking about his style, sometimes he paints his nails or whatever. Looks cool to me, but you know how people get. This time, I figured, okay, let me actually spend five minutes and see what the big deal is, what ‘evidence’ people think they have.
My Quick Look Around
So I opened a new tab. Typed it in. What did I find?
- Lots of forum posts.
- Reddit threads going back years.
- People analyzing pictures, interviews, even his friendships.
- Zero actual confirmation from him or anyone credible. Just speculation piled on speculation.
It was mostly just noise. People arguing back and forth. Some folks get really worked up about it, which is weird to me. Why care so much? It reminds me of high school gossip, honestly. Everyone guessing, nobody knowing.
While I was looking, I saw the news about his last fight. Nassourdine Imavov knocked him out pretty quick in Riyadh. That was a shocker, man. Pushed Imavov’s streak up. That seemed way more interesting than guessing about Adesanya’s personal life.
My Takeaway
Look, I spent maybe 15 minutes total looking into this ‘israel adesanya gay’ thing. Found nothing solid. Just a bunch of internet chatter. It feels like people look at someone who doesn’t fit their exact mold of ‘fighter’ and start making stuff up or asking invasive questions.
Who cares? Seriously. The guy’s an amazing fighter, one of the best strikers we’ve seen. Whether he likes men, women, both, or neither has absolutely zero to do with how he performs in the octagon. People should focus on the fights, like that upcoming Strickland bout, or analyze his skills, not play guessing games about his private life.
It’s just weird energy to put out there. Made me think I should focus my energy on something useful, like finally calling that plumber about the faucet. Anyway, that was my little dive into that topic. Didn’t find much, wasn’t surprised.
