In the UFC 263 post-fight press conference, the interviewer asked Adesanya about the pre-fight press conference- precisely the moment where Vettori lost his temper. It is where Adesanya explained how dog psychology helped him.

‘The Last Style Bender’ said – “Shout out to my guy Ryan from ‘Good Dog and Z’. He has been helping me coz I have been busy, you know. So, he has been helping me with two fleas. One of my dog who isn’t as social coz I didn’t have the time to take her out of the stuff. So, it kinda reinvigorated my love for dog psychology”

“And watching the way dog interacts the way they use their body posture to communicate. And mark the essence and use the anal gland to leave scents into each other’s faces. It’s weird, dogs do it, look it up, google. Working with him has helped me remind myself of how I used to do that all the time. I read people like coloring books, so easy”.
