Nigerian-born UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya has
reacted to his defeat against Jan Blachowicz in the early hours of today.
The 31-year-old admitted that his fight against Blachowicz
didn’t go well the way he wanted, adding that ‘I rule them with an iron black
fist’.
He said he would eventually return to the light heavyweight
division but will first return to the middleweight division to defend his belt.
Adesanya lost to Blachowicz at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas,
Nevada, as the Polish fighter earned the victory by scores of 49-46, 49-45 and
49-45.
Two of the three judges gave Blachowicz a 10-8 round in
Round 5, rewarding him for dominant groundwork against Adesanya.
“It didn’t go the way I wanted it to go, but dare to be
great,” Adesanya said after the fight. “The critics are the ones on the
sidelines, but I’m the one putting it on the line.”
He added, “I rule them with an iron black fist.
“I’m going to go back down and handle business. If you want
to get off the hype train, get the f— off the hype train. We are just stopping
for gas. If you want to stay on, I promise I’ll make you proud.”
