I'm here with the former champion Israel Adesanya. Take it in, my guy. People love you, man. Was there anything surprising in this fight tonight with Drus Dupi? To be honest, uh, his toughness. I already knew it was. He was going to be tough and hard to put away, and I was cracking him, but yeah, I already knew he was going to be tough, so it wasn't a surprise. But I was quite strong in there. I felt strong, able to resist those takedowns. I just made a stupid, dumb mistake on the ground, and he adjusted well to the Gable grip and then got me. But I stand by what I said to my family. I will fight for you forever, I swear to God, no matter what. And again, I didn't do what I wanted to do, uh, tonight, and yeah, I'm disappointed in myself, but at the same time, I'm proud 'cause this is the best I've ever felt, this is the best I've ever looked, and I just

had the better man on the night, and I'll give him respect for that. I he you have fought 12 straight title fights. What's next for the style Bender? Uh, I didn't think this far. I was I didn't Manifest this, but um, look, I know everyone, you know, you guys love me. This is where I started my career in the UFC, is where I made my dream right here in perk um, but look, I'm 35, I'm doing the right things, and I know all you want to see me lose, you want to see me down, but watch this. I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving. Well, don't stay gone for a year again, my friend. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the last sty Bender, Israel out of Sonia.
