“I don’t have to take him seriously till I have to take him seriously. And that’s a guy that, definitely, I’d like to fight; if he does what he says, he wants to do. Because guess what? He’ll bring in a lot of eyes,” replied Adesanya.

Although Adesanya appreciated Chimaev for his win against Li Jingliang. “There was something he did in that fight. I won’t give it away, but I was like, ‘Hmm. I like that.’ I was really impressed with it. So, that’s what made me take notice of him properly. But at the moment, still, it’s just barking in the wind ‘cause who’s he fought at 185?” added Adesanya.
