Just not in front of a crowd. He knows how to, like, push me and he has whopped my a-- many a time in the gym," Israel Adesanya said in the video.Adesanya also shared what went through his mind when he first came across Timms at the King of the Ring Tournament:"I remember the first time I saw him was at the weigh-ins and I was like f--k, we're gonna have to watch out for this guy.,,I was like 'I don't wanna fight this guy', because he had like head tattoos and he had a mean mug the whole time at the weigh-ins and he was mean-mugging everyone. But now that you know him, he's a big softy, just like me, like we are both f-----g dorks."Adesanya and Timms faced off at King of the Ring 86 in April 2015. It was a cruiserweight bout that ended in a second-round TKO victory for 'The Last Stylebender'. Now, both fighters train together at City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand.
