Akatsuki is a group of Shinobi in the TV anime Naruto. The word Akatsuki translated to “Dawn” or “Daybreak.” With the UFC 253 set to take place in Abu Dhabi, it’s an interesting reference from Adesanya by wearing the symbol of a group of people whose main mission is to end war.

In the lead-up to UFC 253, Israel Adesanya has mentioned Paulo Costa as a perfect villain, citing several animes in the process. At the media day of UFC 230, Adesanya had said, “it’s a Goku vs Vegetta type thing,” while speaking about the match-up with Darren Till. The reference has a lot to do with Adesanya’s respect for british sensation Darren Till. After Whittaker beat Till, Adesanya put out a tweet where he complimented Till’s striking and stated that he would like to fight him inside the octagon one day. Earlier, Adesanya teased a super-fight against Darren Till at Wembley during a recent media interaction.

After a lackluster performance against Yoel Romero, Adesanya will have a lot to prove against a dangerous striker like Paulo Costa. After a hard fought three rounds against Yoel Romero, and stoppage victories over Uriah Hall and Johnny Hendricks, Costa has earned his position to fight for the title belt. Israel Adesanya will look to answer his critics and prove everybody wrong as he did against Whittaker ahead of the much anticipated showdown between two of the best strikers in the Middleweight division, Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa.
