Israel Adesanya was told by a fan that his gift of a fluorite stone will help him win back the UFC middleweight title.
Adesanya was unbeaten in the UFC at 185lb heading into the sixth defence of his belt against former kickboxing rival Alex Pereira last month in New York. 'The Last Stylebender' was dominating the fight until getting caught and ultimately stopped by a series of punches from Pereira in the final round, making his third loss to the Brazilian after two defeats in their kickboxing days.
Along with his City Kickboxing teammates Dan Hooker and Kai Kara-France, former middleweight champion Adesanya attend a meet and greet with fans in Auckland. One fan brought along a fluorite crystal ball to give Adesanya as a gift, insisting the ball's spiritual properties will "heal" him and help him win his title back.
