The Ultimate Fighter – TUF – is a reality TV show of the UFC tournament. In this program, the UFC tournament will select 2 famous boxers of UFC to be the coach for unmarried punchers. This is also one of the methods to choose a boxer for UFC
In the final episode of the program, the two coaches will compete with each other on the ring. In the next section, UFC is expected to let Israel Adesanya and Darren Till become a coach to confront each other.
However, because Israel Adesanya refused, the program chose Brian Ortega and Alexander Volkanovski as coach.
In a recent interview, the New Zealand champion shared the reason why he came to this decision.
“I personally don't want the camera to point at my face so much and I don't want to get stuck in Las Vegas for so long,” Adesanya said. “I just feel like it will be quite weird – I mean, what need to create a good reality TV show? Drama, lots of dramas and I am a troll, Darren is a troll.
I feel that I will have to become the worst version of myself. The jokes they want to play on TV, I can lower. Many people do not understand that, I chose to behave properly many times, if I want to become a joke, I am abundant. ”
Overall, Israel Adesanya felt that he would not be able to build a drama on the TV continuously to bring to a dramatic show. That is why he only focuses on the matches that UFC assigned.
