Israel Adesanya: Nigeria's UFC Champion Questions 'Who Made God'

'If God made the World, then Who Made God' - UFC Champion Israel Adesanya explains 'Who Made God'


Nigerian and New Zealand professional mixed martial artist Israel Mobolaji Adesanya has given his perspective on religion and God.

The Last Stylebender, who is the reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight title holder, has a unique perspective on God.

He appeared on the ImPaulsive podcast recently with presenters Mike Majlak and American social media personality, actor, and professional wrestler Logan Paul.

Israel Adesanya on Sunday School and God

Adesanya on the podcast was asked by Logan Paul about his spirituality, and his response was fascinating.

He went into a detailed description of his journey with religion over the years.

According to Adesanya, he began to question God as the sovereign creator of the world based on who created him.

Adesanya, who recently reclaimed the UFC middleweight title from Brazilian Alex Pereira, detailed that his questions about God started when he was about seven.

He explained that it started in Sunday school, where his curiosity about who created God came from.

Adesanya responded with a detailed breakdown, he said, "I'm spiritual. I love LA and Vegas.

“I love those places, but actually, if even in Vegas, I just have to live off the strip same way.

"I'm human at the end of the day I'm regular I'm just another dude but I do extraordinary.


"I grew up in a religious household, but when I was young Sunday school.

“I remember asking like my Sunday school teacher well if God made the world then who made God and no one had an answer for me.

"I asked my parents and then what I asked my housemates and one of my aunties remember.

“I kept on asking for like a whole week and she goes if you keep asking that question you go mad.


That was when I was like okay I don't think these adults really know what's happening I think because I was probably like seven eight.

Adesanya on God with Logan Paul

Adesanya also on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul, detailed a comparison with NBA great Michael Jordan.

In addition to his view about God, he continued, "I remember thinking like no one has it like because it's a simple question.

“I was like all right God made the world in seven days he created let they be like boom Genesis you know whatever verse that is.

"Then I remember just like asking like well if God made the world who made God and then knowing how to answer for me.

"I now over the years I've gone through our Renaissance with religion in a sense where like I know how many people wrote the Bible.

"I know it's written by so many different men it was misconstrued, and then there's the new Kim Kings James version."

Adesanya is now expected to return to action later this year to face the winner of the eliminator between Dricus du Plessis and Robert Whittaker.

The bible is fake and since Mohammed PBUH just copied parts of the old testament, the Koran is worse.

The Jewish God is not the same today, tomorrow and forever. Technology and advancement in science changes God.

In the bible He stopped the tower of Babel because humans were aiming high. Today there's the Burj khalifa and Elon Musk's rockets he can't stop.

Bible is just another superhero comic book and God is a mythical creation.

Using Nigeria as a case study, you'd discover that the country has really defied that there's a god.

It has always been the bad things happening. Those who rule over us and the masses are very evil.

This particular question is scary even for our parents. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to ponder over this question too. I was in primary school and less than 10 years of age.

I went to wake my father in his room to ask him. He had no answer. He just stylishly rubbed me on my back and told me to go back to my sleep. I guess my little brain was in the over-drive that particular night. I don't think anyone can ever answer that. No matter how much of the Quran or Bible you may hsve read.

However, i don't want to say there's no God. I have experienced a lot to believe in His existence. I have equally decided to give myself some peace by not bothering over who created or gave birth to him again. It's getting me confused. Same as the actual religion that is of God. I am just okay like this abeg.

I was like 8 years when same happened to me in the middle of the night

I remember crying after thinking and thinking about it. My mum didn't have answer for me but pacified me to sleep. I stopped asking since then till now. I hope none of my children would ask me such direct question.

I believe there is God and spirituality. His existence that is unexplainable is what makes him God. He stops being God (a spiritual being) the day we can explain with certainty his existence with our mortal knowledge.

Can you even prove to a reasonable extent that you exist in the first place not to talk of one imaginary God.

We call overselves humans just because someone told us to call ourselves that, same as everything else.

We are just being deceived for saner clime
