UFC champ Israel Adesanya mocked by opponent for ‘cartoon porn addiction’
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya was mocked by Sean Strickland for having an addiction to ‘cartoon porn.’
The pair, who are set to face off against different opponents at UFC 276 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, traded verbal insults in their press conference ahead of their fights. And one of the stranger slurs included American Strickland, 31, claiming that hisfoe had an infatuation with anime porn.
It began when the challenger stood up and addressed the crowd. “I just want to say something,” he started. “This is my first press conference. You guys are a bunch of vicious b******s. I hear the way you guys talk. I want to go down there and punch all you f***ers in the face. Jesus Christ, you guys are mean.”

This was followed by a back-and-forth with Adesanya. Strickland said “I would say me, but that man was the one who slept that man. Next to me, next to me, probably Alex. What was it? 2-0 against Izzy? What is it 2-0?” Adesanya asked: “Did you watch the whole fight?” Strickland responded: “No, I don’t watch fights.”
Adesanya: “Exactly, do your f***ing job next time.” Strickland then came out with: “Oh, man. I made the champion mad with his f****ing frosted tips and his little watch. Oh no. I’m just joking. Izzy is a savage, bro. No doubt.” Adesanya retorted: “What happened before I walked on stage? I smacked you on the a** like my b****.”
This was before Strickland made the bizarre insult of: “Bro, your Pornhub is just filled with cartoons, bro. No man that beats off to cartoons is going to beat me. Calm down. Calm down.”

Adesanya did not address the insult directly, saying instead: “I’ll tell you what. When you win this fight and when we fight, I’ll knock you out and do a TikTok dance over your grave.”
But after further scornful comments at one another, the porn subject came up again.
Adesanya said: “You better focus on your guy. Otherwise, he’s going to f*** you up, too.” Strickland said: “Not the way he slept your a**. Nah, but, no, no. Izzy is a solid guy. He’s a good guy. I don’t judge his cartoon porn addiction. I’m not going to be that guy.” Adesanya: “It’s hentai. Get used to it. It’s hentai.” Strickland: “It’s called hentai. I’m a grown-a** man. Calm down. I’m not watching cartoons.”
The two will face off against different opponents on Sunday, with Adesanya facing Jared Cannonier on the main card, while Strickland is facing Alex Pereira.
