Ahead of UFC 276, Izzy had said that he’s channeling his dark side particularly for this fight. Although he kept the curtains draped on his entrance, he surprised everyone when he made one of the best octagon walkouts ever. Fans salivated and expressed their appreciation for Adesanya’s star power and showmanship.
The UFC commentary booth went off for a few moments as they gasped in the historic entrance they were witnessing live. Adesanya scored a unanimous decision victory against Jared Cannonier.
Following Israel Adesanya’s iconic walkout, fans of combat sports and pro-wrestling were eagerly waiting for the ‘Dead Man’ to react to it. With the Triple H, and Vince McMahon in attendance at UFC 276, it was inevitable that the Undertaker would address the walkout.
He was thoroughly impressed by the walkout and congratulated the ‘Last Stylebender’ on Instagram. He wrote on Twitter, ‘The long walk many opponents know and fear … congrats @stylebender! #UFC276’
