Israel Adesanya opens up to Joe Rogan about his admiration for Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin’s bond: "That's fu*king cool"
Israel Adesanya recently lauded the bonding between Conor McGregor and his fiance, Dee Devlin, during his appearance at the JRE MMA Show No.164. Besides several other discussions, 'The Last Stylebender' delved deep into the topic of relationships, while appreciating The Notorious's' relationship with Devlin.
Reports say that McGregor met Devlin in 2008 inside a nightclub in Dublin. The two didn't take long to fall in love after their first meeting. Since then, Devlin has been by McGregor's side through all his highs and lows to date.
Adesanya got into a discussion regarding his post-retirement life with the JRE host, Joe Rogan. This is when he detailed the importance of having stable relationships in life and also considered the McGregor-Devlin one as a great example of the same.
"Conor with Dee Devlin. That’s fu**ing cool. I love it. She’s still with him to this day. They’ve got kids together. That’s cool. Regardless of what the state of the relationship is now, she was with him when he was no one, and she believed in him. That kind of stuff is rare these days."

Israel Adesanya has moved on from his rivalry with Alex Pereira
Not many UFC fans can deny that Israel Adesanya's rivalry with Alex Pereira is among the best ones in UFC history. The two had locked horns inside the kickboxing ring two times before their UFC meetings on two occasions.
Their first fight at UFC 281 ended in a TKO victory for 'Poatan' which also made him the UFC middleweight champion. However, Adesanya finally managed to taste vengeance as he knocked Pereira out cold at UFC 287.
But despite the high intensity of the strife, Adesanya seems to have moved on from it. The 35-year-old recently took to his YouTube channel, where he appreciated Pereira's current run in the UFC and also wished that he stays undefeated from his next fight till his retirement.
"I just think 'Poatan's' on a f**king tear right now. He's just too good. Bro, I hope he retires undefeated. Not undefeated, but, you know, the rest of his career. The rest of his career. F**k, it'll just be like, 'I beat that ni**a one time."
