"I've seen his fights," Adesanya said about Imavov. "I know he's dangerous. I know he's slick. I like his style, very well rounded. Even though he's the guy I'm fighting, it's about me. It's about improving. Just because you're not fighting for a title, you got a motherf—er swinging at you, trying to take your head off. You're up. You wake up. You better be up."
