He could start his show on a positive note and the 57 year old said, “They worked it out [Adesanya and Du Plessis]. This is cool, too.” Adesanya even made the whole ordeal, more fun, loving by quoting a line from the Wolf of Wall Street. He said, “I’m not f***ing leaving.”

Brian Simpson also gave all the compliments to Izzy fight his impeccable speech after the fights every time. He recalled what the former champion had said after UFC 287. “Let’s not forget Izzy possibly the greatest post-fight speech of all time when he beat Alex. Bro that sh*t gives me chills,” he added.
