In response, the former double champ stated, “But that’s how confident he is. That’s how confident Israel Adesanya is in himself and what he can do once he gets in there, that he can put together that entire dance and he told me; the production team told me they’re gonna do it. It took hours for him to do this and figure out exactly how he wanted it done.”
