Adesanya and Ngannou share a wonderful friendship
In an interview with the YouTube channel ‘Its time for Sports’ ahead of his fight against Jan Blachowicz, Adesanya had mentioned that having three African-born champions will be iconic, and he didn’t want to spoil the situation.
He said, “Imagine when Francis gets that belt. Me, Kamaru and Francis, it’s three African-born champions holding UFC belts currently, at the same time, that’s powerful. That image is powerful. That image itself is iconic and historical, and it would do a lot for the people from our continent.
“They’ve been taking a lot of gold from Africa. So it’s good to bring it back to Africa, so yeah… (I will fight) no one that I consider a brother. I feel like it was almost blasphemous.”
