Israel Adesanya Slams Shocking Rumors of Gay Relationship with Manager

07 June 2023

In a fiery response, Israel Adesanya fiercely denounced the swirling rumours linking him romantically to his manager, Tim Simpson.

In a recent appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, the reigning UFC middleweight champion delved into a wide range of subjects, including his eagerly awaited documentary premiering at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival on June 11.

During the conversation, Adesanya confronted the recent speculations surrounding his sexual orientation and the supposed romantic entanglement with his manager:

"This is why a lot of 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,” he said.

He further went on to add about his documentary.

"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 ,” he added (h/t Sportskeeda.com)

Adesanya recently inked a deal with PRIME and is coming off a successful title fight against Alex Pereira.
