“I thought, ‘Yes, really?’ and he was like ‘yes’, I was like ‘we could have stopped this ages ago if it was just about the money’, but to me it’s not just about the money.

“I’m young, I’m fresh, I’m hungry and I want to fuck these moms while I can.

“Money will come, money will always come. I don’t fight for money. In the UFC, [everyone you fight] is a killer, he’s a guy who can hit you.”

Adesanya’s motivation to compete in the cage is no longer driven by financial security.
