Middleweight sensation Israel Adesaya names his favorite actor in a tweet recently

Israel Adesanya has penetrated mainstream media, with his pop culture references, flamboyant personality, and sublime fighting skills, and has emerged somewhat of a superstar himself. Adesanya can be often seen speaking about art, his love for anime, and music. Fans of the ‘Last Stylebender’ were naturally intrigued to know about his favorite actor. And it is none other than megastar Tom Cruise himself.

Tom Cruise continues to dominate the box office at 59, and his latest instalment of the Top Gun franchise was met with stupendous reception. Top Gun Maverick has made a whopping $474.76 million in domestic theatres and $427.1 million overseas (without a penny from China, Russia or Ukraine) for a $901.9 million global tally.

Adesanya recently posted a tweet stating that Tom Cruise is his favorite actor. While the middleweight champion did not share any details as to why Cruise is his favorite, it’s likely that the fighter draws inspiration from the actor’s career longevity, business mentality, fitness, and work ethic.

He wrote, ‘Tom Cruise officially my fave actor.’

I’m sure it’s going to be the same thing same for me” – Israel Adesanya on his fight against Jared Cannonier

His opponent Jared Cannonier has emerged as the dark horse of the division, and is confident on his abilities to dethrone the middleweight king. When asked by Helen Yee about how the fight would play out he said,

“It’s really hard to say right now,” Cannonier said in an interview with Helen Yee. “All I know without giving up too much of my game plan is that it’s going to be very competitive. More competitive than any other fights that he’s had in the octagon. I’m sure it’s going to be the same thing same for me.

“But I’m going to anticipate less, just answering any of the questions that he’s gonna present to me, answering them with ferocity, and I don’t know, any of those pretty words we can add to it, but I feel like he’s going to have to change his approach, that’s for sure. He’s not going to be style-bending in there because I plan on neutralizing his game and imposing minds like I do with any and everybody.”

Adesanya posted a tweet and shared a screenshot of his chat with fellow teammate and UFC fighter Brad Ridell. He discussed with Brad about the ‘Pain of preparation’ and that he’s ready to put on a show. He captioned the post, ‘UFC276 , I’m gonna make it look easy.’
