Adesanya is kinda perma-cringe but in a usually fun way, like Cejudo. This, however, was cringe in a very embarrassing way.

It's kind of funny that you average internet cringe lord is a MMA champ, one of us.

Adesanya always has to be the main character. Dude just won a huge fight. Let him have his time. No need for you to come in being super awk dropping n words and all kinda shit. Let him have his moment.

As weird and awkward as I found that, it was probably exactly the thing he wanted to cap off his win. Starting the obligatory beef with the champ. It was pretty cringy but kind of par for the course really.

IDK I think it would have been better for the world to sort of be introduced to DDP ant let him talk more to help the fans know him better.

Instead we got the terrible promo even for Izzy standards that won't sell a single additional PPV or seat.

Du Plessis seems like the type of guy that's all for a ridiculous over the top feud for no reason

That was hard to watch live.
