Israel Adesanya turned the Octagon into a dance floor after defeating Paulo Costa at UFC 253
Israel Adesanya came in for some criticism after he celebrated by dancing after his incredible UFC 253 win.
The Last Stylebender brought out a lot of great moves as he finally got rid of his long-time rival. Costa was leagues below the UFC Middleweight champion and there was a huge gulf in class between the pair.
While Costa hasn’t had much to say after the fight, apart from asking for a rematch, Adesanya has gone into overdrive.
He has attacked Costa several times, made fun of his own bloated breast and even called out Jon Jones. The 31-year-old also celebrated wildly in the locker room after the win.
Adesanya, however, didn’t have time for any of his haters and shared the clip of him dancing next to a fallen Costa:
“Dance on the grave of your enemies
“Like no one is watching”

The Stylebender also joked that he should have trained more in dancing and that this was the hardest part of the fight too.
Time for another big fight?
Adesanya has conquered every single opponent that the UFC has put in front of him. However, he does have his eyes set on Jones.
The former Light Heavyweight champion has been in a bitter battle with Adesanya for a while, and it will be interesting to see when the pair fight.
The problem lies with the fact that Jones has moved up the Heavyweight while Adesanya would have to move up two divisions to face Bones.
There are others who are keen on facing Adesanya too. Khamzat Chimaev, the rising star of the UFC and Dana White’s blue-eyed boy, is someone who has called the Stylebender out.
Chimaev is undefeated in his MMA career and has defeated all of his UFC opponents in style.
