Israel Adesanya has allegedly been caught on camera spitting at another driver during a road rage altercation.

The New Zealander recently returned home following his failed attempt to regain his middleweight title at UFC 305 inside the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

Israel Adesanya seemingly involved in a road rage incident

On August 17, Israel Adesanya went head-to-head with his arch nemesis, Dricus Du Plessis, in an all-African grudge match.

During the fight, ‘The Last Stylebender’ showed glimmers of his brilliant best, landing a plethora of flashy shots. However, he ultimately succumbed to the relentless work rate of his opponent and lost via a fourth-round submission.

Three weeks following his spirited effort to regain his place on the 185-pound throne, footage has emerged, appearing to show the fighter involved in a heated road rage collision with a man wearing a hoodie and shorts.

Standing next to a black McLaren 720S Spider, the MMA star seems to shout: “I get paid for this shit, f*** off.”

The video then appears to show Adesanya putting up his middle finger before calling the man a ‘b**ch’. As tensions begin to grow, the driver steps forward and fires off his own inaudible comeback.

At this point, the former kickboxing star says: ‘walk away’, before insulting the man’s car, by saying: “Go drive your beat-up s**t.”

Undeterred by Adesanya’s comments, the other driver stood his ground and flexed his muscles, which prompted the MMA icon to respond: “I pray for you to try me.”

The clip then appeared to show Adesanya spitting at the man. What happened next is unclear as the individual filming the confrontation drove off.
