And in a video that has since gained popularity on social media, Adesanya delivered some smooth footwork as he danced to 'Unavailable' by Davido. He was joined by a friend as they enjoyed the moment.

His dance video drew a reaction from Davido, who posted a fire emoji to acknowledge Adesanya's support for his music.

While waiting to declare his next fight, Adesanya expressed delight in reclaiming his UFC title.

"I hope every one of you behind the screen, in this arena, can feel this level of happiness just one time in your life," Adesanya said in his postfight interview, as quoted by ESPN.
"I hope all of you can feel how happy I am right now... But you never feel this level of happiness if you don't go for something."

Adesanya reacts to Kara-France's defeat

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that controversial judging in the UFC has reared its ugly head again, and Adesanya is not having it.

The Nigerian-born Kiwi has hit out at judges after his teammate, Kai Kara-France, was defeated at UFC Vegas 74.

Kara-France and Amir Albazi faced off in a five-round bout in the main event, but the result surprised many.

Adesanya speaks on airport arrest

Just a few days after his title fight loss at UFC 281, Adesanya faced arrest at the airport while going through security, which made his situation much worse.

Seven months after the incident, ‘The Last Stylebender’ has opened up on all that transpired that fateful night.

After losing to Alex Pereira at UFC 281, Adesanya was detained at the JFK Airport in Queens, New York as he was preparing to fly back to New Zealand.
