Israel Adesanya lashes out at rumors of gay relationship with manager
Israel Adesanya vehemently lashed out at the rumors suggesting a romantic relationship between himself and his manager, Tim Simpson.
During his appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, the UFC middleweight champion delved into various topics, including his highly anticipated upcoming documentary set to debut at the renowned Tribeca Film Festival on June 11.
'The Last Stylebender' stated:
"It's a documentary about my professional life so far and a little bit about my childhood. I've watched this film twice now, I watched it first when it was kinda finished and I watched it recently as well. I would say one thing about this film, men need to see this, not just men. I'm the kind of guy that is very good with men. Doesn't matter if we have a feminine or masculine side, I'm such a wolf ."
As the conversation unfolded, Adesanya addressed the recent rumors surrounding his sexuality and alleged romantic involvement with his manager:
"This is why a lot people think I'm gay, they literally think I'm gay. People are like 'I've seen them in a cage all the time, they always hugging and sh*t, must be his sugar daddy.' I don't have to act tough, just google me."
