Brazilian Fighter Threatens Israel Adesanya’s Life

Adeyinka Olaiya, Sao Paulo/

Brazilian mix-martial art contender, Paulo Borrachinha, has vowed to end the career of Nigeria’s most successful martial artist, Israel Adesanya, who has just clinched the world title belt after he defeated the Australian giant, Robert Whittaker.

In his reaction, Adesanya said, “I am ready to rearrange the face of this ugly inflamed toy, I will beat you as I have been beating others.”

The undefeated Brazilian challenger, expected to be the next adversary of the Nigerian-born World champion, said during an interview that Adesanya would not survive his heavy blows in an eventual confrontation.

He urged Adesanya to pray for his life so that he would not die during their match in a few months’ time.

Adesanya has been a nightmare to many Brazilian fighters. He had beaten several of them, including the former world champion, Anderson Silver.

Marcos Adauto, the leading Brazilian mix-martial art guru, said, “Adesanya is a phenomenon that will be difficult to defeat.”
