?This collaboration for me is dope from the highest level cause it?s one of the biggest brands in the field,? Adesanya said. ?Even though Engage kind of stands alone and has done everything grassroots from the ground up. Clawed our way to the top. It?s just the ultimate fusion.?
?This is a franchise that?s been around for yonks. Earlier on, I was saying that?Call of Duty?can see the potential with?Engage?fight wear and collab with them. I?m proud of Engage that they came from the jungles of Thailand to now collabing with the leading franchises in the world in any industry. It?s pretty cool. I feel honored to be part of this.?

The light heavyweight kingpin Jan Blachowicz has accepted Adesanya’s offer. Therefore, in all likelihood, the two will go up against each other in the early part of the next year. The future holds a ton of possibilities for the Nigeria-born Kiwi. While he knows that he has a long way to go in his career, Adesanya still wants to savor his success.
?I never used to when I was younger cause I always looked for the next thing, but now that I?m older I like to stop and smell the roses and be like yo, I really did that,? Adesanya said. ?This is just another one of those moments.
