Paul scored three knockdowns before a right hand left Robinson laid flat out and quickly sent into a viral meme.
But after the dust settled, UFC champion Adesanya, 32, spoke with Paul, 25, and boxing coach BJ Flores.
Flores, 43, told The Schmo: “I love Israel man, he’s so chill, so cool, so respectful and so nice to be around.
“He said, ‘Take everyday for what it is and work you ass off.
“Don’t look back with any regrets,’ and you know, coming from a champion, it means a lot.”
Paul came into the fight having beaten online rival ‘AnEsonGib’ in one round of his professional debut.

Since knocking out Robinson, 37, the American celebrity has improved to 5-0 with four knockouts.
He beat retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37, in March 2021 and then Tyron Woodley, 39, in the August on points.
Paul later signed to face Tommy Fury, 22, but the brother of heavyweight champ Tyson, 33, pulled out with a broken rib.
Woodley, who formerly held the UFC welterweight title, filled in on short notice but was knocked out in round six of their rematch.
Paul is now focused on promoting the women’s super-fight between Amanda Serrano, 33, and Katie Taylor, 35.
But his trainer Flores warned there is plenty left waiting for Paul ahead of return to the ring this year.
He said: “You’ve got to sit back and watch. He’s got a lot of options; he’s knocked out everybody he’s fought and he’s done what he had to do.
“He’s got a lot of good options right now and people are beating down the door to fight him.
“We’ll see what happens over the next few months and see what unravels but it’ll be good whatever happens next.”

JONAS EIDEVALL hailed Kim Little’s ‘phenomenal’ display as Arsenal went all guns blazing, sinking Chelsea. Their nightmare start turned into a dream finish – with Highbury legend Ian Wright watching as the Gunners lifted the Conti Cup after a 3-1 win.

The performance saw Stina Blackstenius answer her doubters with her equaliser paving the way for a fightback. 
It also saw skipper Little get her wish of another ‘special’ cup-winning moment with Arsenal ending a silverware dry spell stretching back four years to 2019. 
The midfield veteran was among her side’s standout performers netting a goal that gave them a lead over the beaten Blues.
Gunners chief Eidevall said: “When you thought she couldn’t get better, she put on that performance.

“I told Kim straight after the game, I wasn’t sure if it was possible this is the best you’ve been since I’ve been the coach. 
“She was phenomenal. She played close to a perfect match. 
Arsenal’s first trophy win under Eidevall was watched by a 19,010-strong Selhurst Park crowd including club CEO Vinai Venkatesham .
The result saw Chelsea consigned to League Cup final heartbreak for a second successive year.

And the Gunners sealed their first tournament final victory over their rivals since the 2016 Women’s FA Cup final. 
Eidevall said: “When you look at the last decade, Arsenal have not been the leading club in women’s football in England. Historically, it has been. 
“That is of course an ambition for the club to go back to regain that position in women’s football again. 
“With that being said, with the number of trophies that we won in the last 10 years, we know it’s difficult,
“It’s a really tough competition.
“But that’s the ambition for us to come back to, and to compete in any trophy that we go in for.
“it was really nice that we could go the whole way (in this one) because it can fill us with belief.
“What was important is that we showed we could come back from a defeat last Sunday.
“From losing a game and turning it into a winning result, we showed that we could win a final against Chelsea. 
“They’ve been winning a lot of finals lately here domestically.
“Hopefully it can fill us with belief going forward.”
Arsenal were caught cold in the second minute after a loose ball led to Guro Reiten crossing for Sam Kerr to head home. 
They mounted a fightback winning a couple of corners before eventually levelling in the 16th minute.
They did so with Blackstenius slotting home after Frida Maanum’s strike deflected off Magda Eriksson.

Arsenal took the lead several minutes later after Katie McCabe was caught by Sophie Ingle with Little’s spot-kick sending Ann-Katrin Berger the wrong way.

And Republic of Ireland international was later cautioned. 
Rafaelle made some vital interventions thwarting Kerr on the counter before prompting a Niamh Charles own-goal on the stroke of half time. 
The second spell saw Erin Cuthbert’s shot fly wide off the post with Lauren James firing over in the 55th minute
And Leupolz came close pulling one back late on with Arsenal holding out to seal their trophy triumph.
Chelsea boss Emma Hayes said: “I asked my analysts what they did differently.
“They didn’t do anything apart from Foord coming in and being a bit more narrow.

“Their aggression was different, the intensity of what they did in and out of possession – Kim Little ran the show – that’s not about tactics, that’s just about players.
“More of their players played well today than us. It’s a football match, that’s what happens. It’s their week.” More

DREAM TEAM managers have the luxury of a late deadline for Gameweek 6.The three Saturday 3pm kick-offs are the first eligible fixtures which means gaffers have until 2pm the same day to decide upon their strategy.

PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND’S ACTION – PLAYSTATION 5 UP FOR GRABS!

CAPTAINCY OPTIONS
Here’s the thing, as long as Erling Haaland (£8.2m) is fit he will continue to be the obvious choice for captaincy.
Those who strapped the armband to the Norwegian poacher in Gameweek 5 saw his 20 points doubled to 40 for another massive return.
It’s a measure of the treble-winner’s pedigree that he was able to claim such a haul despite missing FIVE big chances against West Ham and failing to convert any of his six shots against Red Star Belgrade.
However, it’s worth noting that Julian Alvarez (£4.3m) outscored his team-mate by nine points in Gameweek 5 and so any gaffer brave enough to have captained the World Cup winner would have been rewarded with +18-point swing over those who played it safe with Haaland.
Manchester City host Nottingham Forest this Saturday before a trip to St James’ Park for a Carabao Cup showdown with Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Once again, both Haaland and Alvarez look well placed to build upon their sizeable points tallies but which one will come out on top in Gameweek 6?

This leaves the door open for the possibility of alternative captaincy options if Dream Team bosses felt confident they could predict which players will start two games in Gameweek 6.
For example, will Eberechi Eze (£3.6m) start against Fulham on Saturday and against Manchester United on Tuesday?
Crystal Palace don’t have European commitments to juggle and so they may as well give it a go in the domestic cups.
If that’s how Roy Hodgson sees it then the Eagles’ No10 is certainly a viable captaincy candidate.
Eze has amassed 50 points at this stage, only two midfielders have more, and he’s the player who has collected the most bonus points – 17 of them in six outings.
Equally, Bruno Fernandes (£6.1m) would be a superb option if his participation in midweek was known.
Manchester United are on a bad run but they travel to Turf Moor on Saturday to face a Burnley side with just one point from a possible 12 in the league.
The Portuguese playmaker leads the way in terms of big chances created among midfielders and he ranks highly for tackles too.

Pedro Neto (£3m) could be considered an outside-the-box option as he’s due to face Luton and Ipswich this coming Gameweek.
The Wolves winger has provided four assists and earned 13 bonus points, a tally only bettered by James Maddison (£4.3m) and the aforementioned Eze.
However, it should be noted that the 23-year-old didn’t feature at all in his side’s previous Carabao Cup fixture so his minutes aren’t assured by any means.
Since it’s probably best to prioritise the weekend’s Premier League games, Kieran Trippier (£5.2m) may well be a worthy captain.
Newcastle’s reliable right-back racked up 17 points last Gameweek thanks to back-to-back clean sheets and with Sheffield United up next he could make it three in a row.
The Blades have looked vulnerable at set-pieces so Trippier he also fancy his chances of notching his first assist of the campaign.

BOOSTER STRATEGIES
The midweek fixtures are certainly a spanner in the works as it’s difficult to predict the starting line-ups with rotation expected from the majority of clubs.
It therefore may be wise to hold off on activating a Booster.
READ MORE SUN STORIES
Remember, each Booster can only be played once per season and while it’s shrewd to deploy them on double Gameweeks, the uncertainty around the Carabao Cup line-ups introduces an unnecessary level of risk.
Good luck to any gaffers boldly playing a Booster this coming Gameweek – there are certainly favourable match-ups which could yield healthy returns if the fixtures can be deciphered.

The 126-cap Belgian has reportedly interested Vancouver Whitecaps, Nice, Marseille and old club Lille.
But Get Football News France say Hazard intends to quit playing – with an announcement imminent.
He never reproduced the exhilarating form of his seven golden years with Chelsea after joining Real for £115million in 2019.
Apart from his woe with injuries, there were even mutterings at times about his fitness and conditioning.

Hazard quit international football following Belgium’s dismal World Cup exit last December.
And having been without a club since his Real contract expired in June, he’s believed to have decided he’d rather bow out than drift on.
He could have taken twice the money in Saudi Arabia but been half the player he once was, judging by his decline since departing Chelsea.
In fact, Hazard played just six LaLiga games for Real last season.

That meant, in total, his dream move to the Bernabeu amounted to just seven goals in 76 appearances.
In contrast, Hazard’s stats at Chelsea back up his status as one of the club’s all-time greats.
He amassed 352 appearances, 110 goals and 92 assists for the Blues, also making him one of the Premier League’s finest-ever players. More
