UFC champion Israel Adesanya has turned down Hollywood offers to focus on his upcoming title defence against Alex Pereira.
Middleweight king Adesanya, 33, makes the sixth defence of his title this Saturday at UFC 281 against old rival Pereira, who defeated him twice in their kickboxing days. 'Poatan' won a controversial decision against Adesanya in 2016 and knocked him out in their rematch the following year, with the loss marking Adesanya's final fight in the ring.
'The Last Stylebender' has since become one of the UFC's biggest stars and Hollywood offers have unsurprisingly come his way amid his success. Whilst refusing to reveal the exact roles he's been offered, Adesanya insisted they don't matter because he will not let any acting ventures get in the way of his fighting career.
