Okay, let me tell you how I ended up digging into this whole ‘israel adesanya gay’ thing. It wasn’t like I woke up one day obsessed with it, you know?

It actually started pretty randomly. I was just scrolling through some fight forums online, the usual stuff – upcoming matches, who looked good in training, the typical fan arguments. Then I stumbled onto this thread, and bam, someone brings up Adesanya’s sexuality. Not the first time I’d seen whispers, but this thread was really going at it.
People were posting all sorts of stuff. Some were pointing fingers at his style, his nails sometimes, or things he’d said in interviews or press conferences that they thought sounded ‘sus’. Honestly, a lot of it felt like a real reach. You know how people online love to dissect every little thing someone famous does.
So, I got curious. Not in a gossipy way, more like, ‘what’s actually out there besides fan theories?’. I opened up a new tab and just started searching. Put in the usual terms, variations of his name and the question.
What I found was… well, mostly just that: speculation. Lots of it.
- There were tons of forum posts, social media comments, repeating the same few points.
- Some articles popped up, mostly gossip columns or blogs, rehashing the rumors.
- I did find clips and interviews where Adesanya himself kinda addressed it. From what I saw, he’s mostly brushed it off or seemed annoyed by the constant questions. He’s flat out denied it a few times, basically saying people twist his words or actions because he’s different or confident.
I spent maybe an hour just clicking around, reading different takes. There wasn’t any big reveal, no concrete proof, no reliable source confirming anything. It was just chatter, the same kind of noise you see about lots of celebrities.
Basically, my search showed me there’s a lot of talk online, fueled by people interpreting his fashion sense or comments in a certain way. But I didn’t find anything substantial. Adesanya himself has denied it. So, it just seems like one of those internet rumors that keeps floating around. That was my dive into it, just trying to see past the noise on a forum thread.
