Watch: Israel Adesanya LOVES fan tearing up Alex Periera supporter's poster, stops vehicle to ask for his number
Israel Adesanya rewarded a fan for tearing a poster made by an Alex Pereira fan ahead of their UFC 287 main event clash.
The New Zealand native was in his vehicle going past a group of fans. A number of fans walked along the vehicle and held up signs and placards to show their support for Adesanya. However, one fan took it to the extreme by tearing a poster that 'dissed' the former champion. It sent 'The Last Stylebender' and his entire entourage into a frenzy inside their vehicle:
"You're my hero. I love you brother, I love you. I wanna send him something, can you open the door please? Get that kid's number."
The poster read, 'Izzy is gonna get Frozen like Elsa'. The poster was a wordplay on an infamous line Israel Adesanya made at a press conference. Adesanya wanted to open the door and talk to the fan, but before he could, another fan came and grabbed the poster and tore it down. The former middleweight champion then got the fan's number but he did not reveal what he said to him.
Israel Adesanya is hours away from possibly the biggest fight of his life. This fight is a must-win for him, a way for him to get back the belt he lost.
