No, I don’t think [he was my toughest challenge],” Adesanya via to ESPN said MMA fighting. “He was very one-dimensional. He’s also very early in this game, so I’m happy to have him now. I don’t know who is in his corner. I know he has Glover and his boxing trainer. I don’t know what their background is, I don’t mind, I’m just worried about me. I definitely know he’s not as smart as me in the cage. I know this is true. “
