OduNews.com reports that Charlotte Powdrell, the ex-girlfriend of New Zealander-Nigerian mixed martial artist Israel Adesanya, has taken legal action against the UFC Middleweight champion, demanding half of his assets in a settlement.
This revelation came to light during a podcast featuring UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, which was streamed on the Suga YouTube channel.
O’Malley highlighted that Powdrell and Adesanya were never married and have no children together. Despite this, Powdrell claims entitlement to half of the fighter’s wealth due to the length of their relationship and her support for his UFC career.
O’Malley expressed disbelief over the situation, stating, “I don’t know how their relationship was because I didn’t even know he had a girlfriend, but to want half of what he’s gone out there and done is absolutely ridiculous.”
Adesanya’s relationship with Powdrell, a New Zealand real estate agent based in Auckland, gained public attention in 2019 when she was seen with the ‘Last Stylebender’ following his victory over Robert Whittaker.
Israel Adesanya currently holds the UFC Middleweight championship title and is among the world’s highest-paid mixed martial artists.
