UFC star Israel Adesanya shocks with ‘flabby right peck’ as other fighters point out bizarre boob in Paulo Costa win
ISRAEL ADESANYA has responded to comments about his right peck after fighters pointed out his bizarre-looking ‘tit’ during the Paulo Costa fight.
Adesanya put on a masterclass against Costa to retain his middleweight title in the UFC 253 headliner at the weekend.
But before the second round knockout, the champion’s abnormal-looking right peck caught the attention of viewers – including Jon Jones.
Jones tweeted: “What’s up with Izzy right tit.”
Chris Weidman said: “Nipweird?”
Aljamain Sterling wrote: “What’s up with Izzys right Pec?! Did anyone else notice this? My girl just pointed it out.”
Unbeaten Adesanya, 31, was asked about his chest in the post-fight press conference.
He responded: “Why are they looking at my titties?”
Doctor Brian Sutterer explained Adesanya’s right pec in a YouTube video.
He said: “I don’t think this is a peck tear, I saw that pop up online and there’s no way Adesanya would have been able to fight with a peck tear.
“The other thing we need to think about here is whether this is just an accumulation of fatty tissue.
“That would be be called pseudogynecomastia.
“That can be from a number of different totally benign things, even things like repetitive trauma to an area which would make complete sense for a mixed martial artist.”
