“I’m not crying because of the pain or anything it’s just moments, I’m thinking about things,” he said.
“I remember how the city was that night. It was crazy. It was pumping.
“I didn’t even go out, I just stayed in the hotel suite. I remember sitting like this looking at the city...” an emotional Adesanya adds.
“I just knew, man. I just felt like one day, it’s gonna be my turn. It’s crazy how it’s all just playing out like I f***ing said.
“Shine bright, baby.”
Adesanya will fight 42-year-old Romero on Sunday (AEST).
