Israel Adesanya pays tribute to Oba Femi during UFC Paramount+ broadcast

03/29/2026

UFC star Israel Adesanya paid tribute to former NXT champion Oba Femi last night on UFC Fight Night: Seattle.

Adesanya, who was in the main event fighting Joe Pyfer, entered the Octagon doing Femi’s entrance walk, with the commentary team acknowledging Fema on television.

Unfortunately for Adesanya, his first fight in over a year ended in a disappointment as Pyfre inflicted his fourth loss in a row, with his professional MMA record now standing at 24-6.

Both Adesanya and Femi are from Lagos, Nigeria.
