I’m not the happiest right now but I keep winning, I keep progressing and I do it dominantly. I want Adesanya next. I want to fight him. I think I deserve it. I have the longest win streak right now.

"I leave no doubt. The last fight I had with Adesanya was the closest fight that he’s ever had, and in my eyes, I still won it. It has to be made again. I’m next in line and I deserve it. I was supposed to fight Darren Till. He didn’t show up. Now he’s out. I’m the most hungry and I’m next. The winning streak that I’ve had, all my opponents have been solid. I’m next.”
