Adesanya commented on this exciting boxing matchup on his YouTube channel, ‘FREESTYLEBENDER’. ‘Izzy’ started off by stating how ‘The Problem Child’ looked more focused when he met him the last time. He narrated, “Seen him [Jake Paul] in the gym, saying, ‘What’s up?’. You can tell the demeanor was different. He was just focused”.
‘Izzy’ further stated, “I talked to him after his last fight. And he’s now for redemption as well. So, I can see he’s really locked in“. But, even after all of this Adesanya reminded, “But again, he’s fighting Nate Diaz”.
‘Izzy’ also revealed the aspects of Diaz which could make it hard for Paul to conquer him. He stated, “You know you’re fighting a guy who’s a good boxer and got cardio for days. So, Nate’s gonna be hard to finish”. Most combat sports fans might agree with Adesanya’s opinion in this regard.
