Adesanya reacting to the setback, insisted the fight didn’t go as planned, adding that he was unable to get some sleep before the fight.

“No, not exactly because I thought I was going to win and you know, I couldn’t sleep last night and instead of doing wines I was doing lines just to stay up,” Adesanya told UFC on BT Sport by the ringside.

“They got me one of these (bottle of wine) and I probably should have had it maybe I would have slept better.

“Yes it didn’t go the way I wanted it but dare to be great, you know the critics are on the sidelines but I am the one putting my life on the line.”

When asked if he regretted moving up to the next ladder in the sports, the Stylebender insisted that: “I don’t have any reason to question my reason to move up, that was just my legs being fatigues. I don’t know what from but I have to watch the tape.

“I knew what I had to do and I was trying to do, besides, they played a fast one blocking my techniques but my techniques could have been a lot more finer, it made me look like I had a bodyguard but I promise you, it was like a bad day in the gym except its in the office tonight.

“This is not a one-off, I have to be back but like I said, dare to be great. Thank you all, eyin gbogbo Naija (all of you in Nigeria) and everyone rooting for me, thanks for the support, like I said, dare to be great, but for now, back to the gym.”
