"I don't know if I got inside his head or not, but I do know that he has himself firmly planted in his own head. If my goal was to get inside his head, I've succeeded, judging by what he's saying. Now it's not just me who's giving him a hard time, but he's giving himself a hard time. Either way, I'm glad I achieved a double effect. I said his fire was gone, but I don't think it is. It's just that his fire is insignificant compared to mine. The passion and fire I have in me overshadows everything, so it's hard for me to see his fire."
As a reminder, Adesanya's fight with Du Plessis will take place on August 17 at UFC 305.
