What’s your take on this? Some fans had previously called him out since he allegedly offered ‘boring fights’ to them.
Recently, Adesanya shared a story on his Instagram asking his fans to send in their questions, which the former middleweight champ would answer to. Instead it was just five rounds of nobody doing much.
The Costa fight will be different. It will likely be the biggest test of the 31-year-old’s career.
Many expected Adesanya’s last bout, against Yoel Romero, to be a classic showdown featuring a power punching-wrestler versus an expert striker.
But it did lead to some people speculating on the MMA subreddit that it was indicative of something more.
“I have a feeling Izzy might be gay,” wrote one user.
“Has he come out yet?” questioned another.
Several users suggested that someone of Adesanya’s stature coming out would be huge for the LGBTQ community, as it would bust a lot of stereotypes in sports culture and society in general.
“Honestly a big name coming out would help the sport,” wrote one person.
“There are gay male fighters but they don’t ever come out because of the stigma.”
Israel Adesanya Has Had His Sexual Orientation Questioned Before
This is not the first time MMA fans have wondered about whether Adesanya is gay, bi or straight.
Last year, when he fought Anderson Silva, Adesanya pledged to reveal something big following the bout.
I’m not going to lose to an idiot.
"He says he’s not going to lose to a guy that jerks off to cartoons or paints his nails.
"Well, I’m going to paint my nails for that fight and I’m going to knock him out with my painted nails. There can be no definite answer to whether Adesanya was protruding from the truth or being sarcastic.
Adesanya’s status also showcased the texts from the other one.
His work has been published on Fox Sports, Bleacher Report, AOL and the Washington Post.
