Former kickboxing champion, the Nigerian did not hide his game and revealed that he will once again affect his rivals using his powerful jabs.

I'm changing now because there's a lot of footage of me that people can watch, smart coaches can game plan. For example, my bass was disturbing everyone at first. But it got to the point where, maybe after the Whittaker fight, maybe after the Yoel romero, no, from the (Paulo) Costa fight. From this fight on, people kind of know the kick is coming,” Adesanya analyzed in an interview with 'This Past Weekend'.
