Israel Adesanaya got a bit emotional during the UFC 305 press conference in Australia.

On Friday, Adesanya and Du Plessis faced off in a heated press conference ahead of their fight on Saturday night.

During the press conference, Du Plessis mentioned online rumors that Adesanya grew up with servants, which led the former UFC middleweight champion to rant.

“Shut the f— up, you don’t even know anything about my story,” A “You have no idea who the f— I am.”

“My father and myself had to wake up at 4 a.m. and clean the banks while my mom studies to be a nurse. You don’t know my f—ing story. Don’t f—ing speak on my story if you don’t know my story. I will show you who you are Sunday. So, right now, shut the f— up.”

An emotional Adesanya could be seen wiping tears off his eyes.

We’ll see if emotional Adesanya pulls off the win this Saturday against Du Plessis.
