Adriano Zendejas defends Samadhi following withdrawal from Supernova Genesis 2026 fight: 'She is not afraid'
Actor Adriano Zendejas publicly defends his sister Samadhi Zendejas after she withdrew from a scheduled fight at Supernova Genesis 2026, addressing criticism about her weight.
In a public display of support, actor Adriano Zendejas has come to the defense of his sister, Samadhi Zendejas, following her controversial withdrawal from the upcoming Supernova Genesis 2026 fight. The situation escalated with conflicting statements from both Samadhi and her opponent Alana Flores regarding the reasons behind her decision to step down from the match. While Samadhi cited logistical issues as the reason for her withdrawal, Alana's remarks suggested otherwise, leading to a heated debate.
Adriano took to social media to clarify the misunderstanding surrounding his sister's weight and fitness levels. He emphasized that contrary to claims made by others, Samadhi does not need to lose as much weight as suggested; instead, he clarified that she weighs 64 kilograms and would only need to drop 10 kilograms for the fight. His vocal support underscores the stress and pressure athletes face regarding their weight and public scrutiny in competitive sports, especially concerning female athletes who often face disproportionate criticism.
The implications of this incident extend beyond just personal family support; it highlights the broader issues of body image, mental health, and the competitive pressures that come with professional sports. Adriano's insistence that criticism should cease and respect should be given to Samadhi's situation serves as a reminder of the need for empathy and understanding in the often harsh world of sports performance and public life.
