Bro this dude is so upfront about his upbringing and his loyalty to his family. I have nothing but respect for this gentleman.

“My dad’s involved in my career. But not in the canvas, not in the cage. But behind the scenes, where it really matters.” I love that.

[gidd]

Y'all the goats for getting adesanya on here

[ryanreviews]

Adesanya is my favorite mma fighter, this interview definitely shows how genuine he is !

[theoriginalrabbithole]

The Last Stylebender, along with Khabib, are easily the two best fighters, pound for pound in recent MMA history. I just can't get enough of Israel's fights. Always entertaining!

[zaal]

FINALLY someone who is honest that they had a decently easy upbringing

[gabrielhogan]

Bruh, if he made his first mill vs Anderson/Brunson then he is absolutely LOADED by now

[oskkrt]

As a caregiver working in the healthcare setting. I just want to thank this man for donating beds to the hospital and nursing homes! It means more to the patients and staffs more than he would ever know!

[grimp]

Always liked issy but he’s earned a lot more of my respect after this video. Especially the part where he spoke about how his charitable donations are kept behind the scenes. Great man.

[LCONRADBF]

I already loved this dude as fighter. Even more now; he’s genuine. “Money is fugazi. Time! Time is more valuable!”

[davidben-shahar]

I am so glad you got him on here, such an Iconic fighter.

[darfoz]

Really refreshing to see that he isn't afraid to say he grew up well off

[CubensisEnjoyer]

The more you hear him speak out of the octagon the more you can tell how intelligent he is. His personal YT channel is super entertaining too. Very easy guy to root for.

[luiz]

He definitely deserves everything he has gotten, rich but yet so humble my inspiration

[gsh]

He’s a truly cultured man. Naming his McLaren “Kurama” Nothing but RESPECT to my guy.

[carlosescobar]

I'm so thankful that he made it big. He's a good soul.

[LeBeautiful]

Adesanya keeps it real, he be looking like the hood Luffy. #StyleBender

[antarahibnshaddad]

He’s like Batman. He put himself through trials and tribulations to become a man. He’s solid

[drewtrades]

Humble and humility. Glad I got to discover him today.

Israel, is the biggest down to earth superstar in the whole world. I knew 5 years ago that you would become what you are now, even back then - i knew. Amazing to see that money and fame hasn't changed who you are and how you view the world
