As UFC leaves 2021 behind, everyone is eager to know what 2022 will bring in for the promotion. However, 2021 was a spectacular year, and many shocking things transpired in the octagon. UFC commentator Daniel Cormier invited guests on his YouTube channel where they discussed the sport. Among these guests were also UFC fighters Deron Winn and Jessica Clark.

At a particular point in the episode of ‘The DC Check-In’, Winn and Cormier spoke about the middleweight champion Israel Adesanya while discussing performances. Winn said, “For even a guy like Izzy, to do like a whole like dance routine… you’re doing a whole dance routine.”

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.”

Cormier also pointed out how Adesanya knocked out Robert Whittaker in front of an audience of almost 61,000 and became the champion.

Winn quickly pointed an important aspect and said, “What you say, in the same arena that he was in like four years prior to in the nosebleeds.”

Lastly, Cormier added, “This dude’s story has been unreal.”
