Adesanya offered fans a sneak peek into his post-fight celebrations with a series of posts on his Instagram story. Hart appeared in a number of posts on Adesanya's story. The duo were seen pouring drinks for themselves and their entourage to toast the Kiwi's success inside the octagon.
Kevin Hart even went as far as to share a bottle of his newly released brand of tequila, Gran Coramino, which is produced in partnership with an 11th-generation tequila maker, Juan Domingo Beckmann.
"At the end of the day, you're a legend. Everybody's watching."

'The Last Stylebender' most recently featured inside the octagon in a middleweight clash against Jared Cannonier at UFC 276 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Israel Adesanya did enough to go past Cannonier and record a unanimous decision win over the course of five rounds. The win marked Adesanya's fifth successful title defense in the 185-lbs division.
In the post-fight press conference, Adesanya focused on calling out Alex Pereira as his next opponent inside the octagon. Pereira also appeared on the same fight card, recording a convincing knockout win against Sean Strickland, who was riding a six-fight streak.
Adesanya and Pereira previously competed inside the ring on two occasions way back in their GLORY Kickboxing days. However, the results of the fights did not favor 'The Last Stylebender' as Pereira recorded a unanimous decision win in their first outing. Their subsequent clash saw 'Poatan' etch his name in history as the only fighter to knockout Adesanya.
