Gina Carano shared her thoughts on Instagram Stories, and her words were full of support. She wrote, “Izzy…it’s anytime we get to see your soul shine through, it’s an experience, it’s precious, it’s so unique and authentic. Win or lose and whatever you choose to do. There are no boxes to put you in. You’re art, you’re free. That is worth following the journey you share with us.”

She did not stop there. Carano also reminded him that fighting is just one part of life. She added, “It’s not about the fight, it’s about the journey, fighting is just one beautiful piece. You’re a human being, who shares the precious moments and wisdom and vulnerability you share that makes this world better. In whatever you do, play the long game, keep that sparkle, do something for you.”

After that loss, many started asking the same question. Is Israel Adesanya thinking about stepping away from the sport? But the fighter quickly cleared that up. He made it clear that he is not done yet.

Adesanya said, “You keep going. Again, and again, and again, and again, and again. I’m not leaving. You’ll never stop me… I might get beat, but I will always remain undefeated.”

For now, even with losses stacking up, Adesanya’s focus seems clear. He is not walking away. And with voices like Gina Carano backing him, the story feels far from over.
