If you want to say who is the hottest in UFC recently, it is undoubtedly this guy.
Exaggerated action, pre-match mouth cannon marketing, gorgeous standing blows, 18 total victories, "Black Dragon" Adisaya has become the next box office guarantee of the UFC.
In the just-concluded UFC243, Adisaya koko "five-star brother" Robert Viteckel in the second round, got the middleweight gold belt, and once again showed the terrifying strength and huge superstar potential.
However, recently UFC President Bai Dana sent a dynamic "Black Dragon has arrived", and Zhang Weili's comment below was very interesting: "Good luck! Sir fighting for three nations! "
Black Dragon replied to Zhang Weili below that "China gives the most money"
Zhang Weili said that this stem should not be unfamiliar to everyone.
Black Dragon was born in Nigeria but grew up in New Zealand and has New Zealand citizenship. When competing in China, he has defeated more than 10 Chinese boxers.

However, in the Chinese arena, Adi Saya often wears the Chinese flag and calls herself "black-skinned, Chinese heart" and "feels that she is Chinese in her heart.".
However, when he went abroad, he did not mention the "Chinese heart", and was jokingly called "three surnames of family slaves" by Chinese boxing fans.
In fact, speaking of Adi Saya, he does have a very deep relationship with China, and his master is the famous "New Zealand Muay Thai Father" Lin Zhengchuan.
Born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, Lin Zhengchuan came to New Zealand from Hong Kong alone, opened a martial arts hall to teach Chinese kung fu, and introduced Muay Thai to New Zealand for the first time, creating the Muay Thai Federation, which is known as the strongest boxing gym in New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand's best boxers such as Adisaya, Blood Diamond Mike, Harley Loew, Brad and so on are all from his disciples.
At the same time, Lin Zhengchuan is also the descendant of Li Jiaquan, and every time the black dragon does a stall hand in the iron cage, it is the iconic action of Nan Quan, and such a stall hand we often see in film and television works Huang Feihong's body.
Adi Saya's name for himself on social platforms is "stylebender", derived from an American cartoon "avatar: the last airbender", "Incarnate Divine Power: The Last Qizong", the animation is set in a world with Chinese color martial arts and element manipulation, the protagonist "An" is good at Chinese kung fu, qigong, and finally integrates various elements and defeats the final boss.
Adi Saya compares himself to the protagonist of the anime, "An", who also followed a master from China, and then learned various techniques such as Muay Thai, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc., and finally defeated the big boss (won the UFC championship).
But then again, Black Dragon expressed how "patriotic" he was in China, perhaps to cater to boxing fans, or perhaps the tournament side deliberately arranged it this way. But leaving China is silent about this, and it is no wonder that everyone calls him "global heart".
He replied to Zhang Weili's sentence "China paid the most" (China gives the most money), how to interpret it? And what kind of mentality? Naturally he himself knows best.
However, in the end, as the mouth cannon said, "This is just business."
