Isreal Adesanya: I Didn’t Sleep Well Before The Fight by thatsleepboy1(op): 11:43am On Mar 08, 2021
Israel Adesanya’s flawless record came to an abrupt end following his defeat to Jan Blachowicz in the UFC 259 light heavyweight championship in Las Vegas.

The Nigerian mixed martial artist suffered his first professional defeat in the combat sport after bowing to his Polish opponent in the fifth round through a unanimous decision. All three judges gave the contest to Blachowicz with a scorecard of 49–46, 49–45, 49–45 at the end of the meeting. However, while reacting to the setback, the 31-year-old insisted that the fight didn’t go as planned, adding that he was unable to sleep before the fight. He told UFC on BT Sport by the ringside:

“No, not exactly because I thought I was going to win and you know, I couldn’t sleep last night and instead of doing wines I was doing lines just to stay up.

“They got me one of these (bottle of wine) and I probably should have had it maybe I would have slept better. “Yes it didn’t go the way I wanted it but dare to be great, you know the critics are on the sidelines but I am the one putting my life on the line.”

Who cares about your frivolous excuse.
You can't always win.

It's not good to fail in this life o. Nobody is posting his pictures and no country is famzing him.

Las las, the world gives no sh*t about failure. We only recognize success

If only you guys will listen to the full interview before spewing nonsense against him based on rubbish spurn by half baked blogs. He never made any excuse for losing. He is brave and fearless and surprisingly very intelligent and likable.

Kudos champ!

The downfall of a man is not his end. He should pick himself up and prepare for his next fight. Losing a fight is part of the journey.

Lol, people don't get it. He's mocking his last opponent Costa who blamed his loss to Adesanya on drinking wine.
Re: Isreal Adesanya: I Didn’t Sleep Well Before The Fight by Nobody: 10:48am On Mar 09, 2021
a good winner is a looser who blames nothing for his loss
