I did not sleep till 2:30 a.m. “
“It was my mistake and I do not blame anybody else, it was one thing I selected to do. To attempt to sleep, as a result of I had been awake for twenty-four hours, I drank wine, too much wine, a bottle of wine to attempt to vanish. I had a drink and it did not work.

This is who I’m. I didn’t change. The factor is, I had 20.10% of my capacity in Adesanya’s fight. We needed to change the technique in the locker room. ‘Don’t assault him, wait after the first two rounds’, which was a mistake. Today we all know it was a mistake, nevertheless it’s straightforward to speak about. “
