Sean Strickland recently called Israel Adesanya Chinese during a recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. Many fans started wondering if Adesanya is indeed Chinese after a video of the UFC middleweight champion holding a Chinese flag went viral.
Before coming to the UFC, Adesanya spent a part of his stellar kickboxing career in China where he was also given the nickname 'The Black Dragon'. The Kiwi would also star in Chinese commercials for extra revenue, which explains the video of him donning the Five-star Red Flag. Explaining the Chinese video, Israel Adesanya recently said on his YouTube channel:
“I grabbed a random baby. and when they came off the hook, I grabbed it off from the dad. so I’m like the thing goes, My Family in China blah blah blah.. it looks like I’m like part of this Chinese man, and I’m grabbing the baby...I feel like it’s just kind of funny, I see some of it not too much of it but some of it, and I’m like.. ahh that’s right. but aye man, I made money.”

Sean Strickland calls Israel Adesanya "China’s little s***"
Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis have traded multiple barbs in the recent past over the authenticity of their African heritage. According to Sean Strickland, Adesanya's 'black card' should be revoked for representing China in the past.
After going off on Israel Adesanya at a recent presser, Strickland has now lashed out at 'The Last Stylebender' during an episode of the JRE podcast. Explaining why Adesanya will always be a 'sl*t' to him, Strickland said:
“He says, and I quote, ‘You look at the color of my skin and you think I’m from Africa, but I am Chinese."
He added:
“I always call him China’s little sl*t ’cause here’s the thing you guys, we have all been a wh*re to somebody. We have all been friends with somebody we shouldn’t have been friends with. We have all been buddies because maybe he can plug me into this, maybe he can give me a dollar, but that level of f****** being a sl*t, dude. My God.”
