Kiwi UFC star Israel Adesanya has been slammed by fans after taunting the son of his rival Alex Pereira after his knockout win at UFC 287 yesterday.
Adesanya reclaimed the middleweight title after an impressive stoppage win over the Brazilian at the Miami event.
The Nigerian-born Kiwi then made a point of staring straight at Pereira’s son in the crowd, who was left in tears.
Adesanya admitted the move was revenge for the way Pereira’s son acted when he lost the first bout.
