So, I think my dad kind of just gave Eugene [Bareman] some advice and just said like, 'Just take a week and a half off, not doing anything.' And that's really dangerous being so close to the fight. It's an old injury on my knee, nothing MCL, ACL-wise but it was really bad like, I couldn't walk on it. Then... took a week off, just nothing, doing nothing on it. No training at all... it paid off because I didn't have to pull out then," said Israel Adesanya.Adesanya went on to comment on Brunson attempting a takedown in the fight:"Everyone would say, 'He hasn't fought a wrestler like Brunson. he hasn't fought a guy with one-punch knockout power like Brunson. He's gonna do this, he's gonna do that. He's gonna get rag-dolled... He's gonna get slammed on his head.' I heard it all before this fight. Look at him, just diving for the legs, like a f*****g beggar."You can watch the full breakdown video below:Israel Adesanya and Derek Brunson may cross paths again in the UFCAfter his loss to Israel Adesanya, Derek Brunson went on an amazing five-fight win streak in the UFC.
