Israel Adesanya

Yeah, so I was putting the pace on him. So again, you know, took time off, came back, felt great. That's the main thing. I felt great when I was fighting. So now we're going to build. We did my testing about four weeks ago now, three weeks ago. So we've got the numbers. We're like, cool, we are where we were four weeks out from the fight. So it's like, cool, let's build off from that.

I want to build off.

I actually have no idea. That's the thing. And it's nice to know that. And I was even telling Rose this. I've never felt that when people talk about, say, you know, I lost the belt. Like, Matt Hughes was one of the first people I heard. Who's my chef's name, by the way? Matt Hughes. Wow. Yeah. But Matt Hughes, the legend, UFC icon, was the first one I heard talk about when he lost the belt.

He felt this pressure come off. Like, ugh. I'm not the champ anymore. But I'd never felt that because I was the champ for so long. And then when I lost it in MSG, it was kind of like, fuck, let's do it again. And then it wasn't until even when I lost it to Strickland, I still felt like, you know, that target on my back and it still is.

But after this fight, I was kind of like, well, man, like I wasn't attached to the result. I just wanted to show off. I wanted to fight. And I did. So now I'm in a spot where it's like. Who do I fight? When do I fight? Because I'm only doing main events, five-rounders, and title fights. That's all I've done for the last how many years.

It's kind of nice to just not have that be the focus now, but now just fight, show off, make money. But we'll see. I'm excited. Where do you get, like...

We need more.

I haven't said, even getting a submission right now would be meaningful to me more than getting a bill for the third time. So that's the thing.
