The Nigerian-born fighter will now be hoping to step up his victory tally at the end of his next fight this weekend.
Legit.ng earlier reported that UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has figuratively stated that he will get the gold the whites took from Africa when he faces Jan Blachowicz for the light heavyweight title.
The 31-year-old is looking to become the first African-born double champion in UFC history if he records a win over the Polish Power.
Adesanya believes it is time the UFC have Africans take over the heaviest divisions as Cameroon's Francis Nganou takes on Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight crown.
