UFC star Israel Adesanya has apologized after he was called out for saying he’d “f–king rape” fellow fighter Kevin Holland while trash-talking him in a since-deleted video.
In a statement, the Nigerian-born New Zealand MMA fighter shared, he admitted he “crossed the line” and now understands the gravity of what he said.
He made the apology in a statement he released on official Twitter account. He wrote:
“Last week fight talk escalated to a point in which I crossed the line. I understand the gravity of this word and how it can affect and hurt other people apart from my opponent, although that was never my intention. I am still growing under the spotlight, and I take this as a lesson to be more selective with words under pressure.”
