Conor McGregor (Insider)
Conor Mcgregor was all praises for his fellow Paradigm sports athlete Israel Adesanya in a recent tweet
This weekend Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker will clash in an epic rematch that will determine the future of the middleweight division.
Israel Adesanya signed a new multi-fight contract with the UFC which will make him the second-highest-paid fighter. Building up to the much-awaited fight, Conor Mcgregor heaped praises at the middleweight king, calling himself the last few in a dying breed of high-level performers.
He said, “Can’t wait to see Izzy Style back in the Octagon this weekend! One of the true remaining high level fighter/performer athletes we have on the roster! Don’t just fight! Perform!”
This does not come as a surprise since ‘The Notorious One’ has always been appreciative of real standup fighters.
Earlier yesterday Conor McGregor complimented Israel Adesanya for his fighting style and hailed him as a complete performer.
Izzy has established himself as a complete superstar with the complete package. When asked about Conor’s appreciation towards him, he recognized the respect by saying – ‘Real recognize real.’
The last time Israel fought Whittaker, he enthralled the fans by breaking out into a dance during his walkout in a never seen before display. The world will tune in to watch the middleweight showdown this weekend.
