UFC 276: Israel Adesanya stars in epic new live-action trailer for Elden Ring

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is a man of many, many talents.

The Nigerian-born New Zealand MMA fighter, 32, is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in mixed martial arts.

Nicknamed ‘The Last Stylebender’, Adesanya is currently unbeaten at 185lbs, having beaten every single one of his opponents in the weight division to date.

His sole loss came only when going for light heavyweight glory against former champion Jan Blachowicz.

But besides fighting, Adesanya is also a huge lover of anime, music and video games – which he regularly refers to in one way or another on his YouTube channel ‘FREESTYLEBENDER’.

So it should come as no surprise to some that he was recently seen starring in the latest live-action trailer for the best-selling video game Elden Ring.

In the trailer, Adesanya can be seen wearing a black robe along with red shorts and gold shin guards.

After a short intro complete with theatrical smoke and fog, it starts with Adesanya walking towards an empty throne in a dim lit room with braziers along the wall.

He takes off his hood before getting up and walking menacingly towards the camera before miming an action from Dragon Ball Z.

The trailer also features footage from the game itself, which shows the protagonist fighting monsters with various weapons at its disposal.

It ends with a close-up shot of Adesanya’s right eye with his iris turning a distinct yellow as it digitally changes colour.

Adesanya has previously spoken of his desire to get into motion caption for movies and video games once he calls time on his mixed martial arts career.

He told TMZ: “They’ve been coming. They’ve been knocking. Later on, I’ll dabble.

“I really want to get into motion capture
