Israel Adesanya just pulled the biggest move of his career, and he didn’t even have to throw a punch.
His ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell, swung for half his fortune in court, only to find out the bag wasn’t even there.
The UFC champ had already put all his assets under his mother’s name.
The Lawsuit that Wasn’t Even a Fight
Powdrell, who dated Adesanya between 2019 and 2020, thought she was entitled to half of his wealth because, well… she dated him.
The court disagreed. With no marriage, no kids, and no legal ties, her argument had as much weight as a featherweight in a heavyweight fight.
But the real knockout punch? Even if she had won, she wouldn’t have gotten a dime, because nothing was in Adesanya’s name to begin with.
The court not only threw out her case, but in a delicious plot twist, ordered her to pay Adesanya $500,000 in legal fees.
Money Moves: Adesanya’s Strategy Outside the Cage
Turns out, the former middleweight champ’s money moves outside the octagon are just as lethal.
Adesanya, who’s no stranger to betrayal, made sure his millions were out of reach by having his mother hold all his assets.
In other words, even if the lawsuit had gone her way, all she’d have won was an imaginary check.
The Roast of the Century
Not one to stay silent, Adesanya roasted Powdrell on social media, calling her out for trying to cash in on his hard work.
And honestly? Can you blame him? The man got punched in the face for a living while she was busy picking her gym gear?
This whole case is a cautionary tale for men everywhere: Adesanya might have taken some L’s in the cage, but when it comes to protecting his money? Flawless victory.
