Israel Adesanya explains the 1 thing he is better at than Michael Jordan

Nigerian and New Zealand professional mixed martial artist Israel Mobolaji Adesanya has talked up NBA great Michael Jordan.

At Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 287, "The Last Stylebender," who had been losing to Alex Pereira for years, finally won.

He appeared on the ImPaulsive podcast recently with presenters Logan Paul and Mike Majlak. 

To commemorate his recent partnership with Paul as a sponsor, the UFC champion joined the episode. 

Adesanya indicated something he could do better than Michael Jordan besides fighting.

Adesanya recently had a wrestling face off against Logan Paul that went viral on social media. 

Mike Maljak and Israel Adesanya discussed Adesanya's petty behavior. Izzy was regarded by Maljak as "the king of pettiness."

Maljak and Adesanya brought up the incident involving Pereira's child.

Adesanya responded, “I’m the best. Michael Jordan is right here (Adesanya gestured with his hands), I think I am just over here or even like a notch above.

"I don’t wanna say, shout out to Mike, but like I like to believe that I am petty. Somethings I cane let go.” 

All the opportunities Jordan personally displayed pettiness were chronicled in the Last Dance documentary. 

In the same way, Adesanya took offense when Pereira's kid made fun of the Last Stylebender in 2022.

In order to improve his performance on the field, Michael Jordan was known for taking things personally. 

Adesanya, though, thinks he can surpass the six-time NBA champion in terms of petty behavior.
