Du Plessis trains and fights out of South Africa while Adesanya, despite being born in Nigeria, relocated to New Zealand as a child, which made his opponent taunt him that he grew up rich and asked if he would come to the fight with his servants.

The statement stuck an emotional chord in the Nigerian and brought tears to his eyes as seen in a video shared by MMA Fighting.
“He touched a subject there because I do this for my family. I do this for my people I love, and I’ll fight for you forever, I swear to God,” he said with tears in his face.
However, he picked himself up as a man and told his opponent that even with tears on his face, he would take him down before storming out of the press room.
He returned later for the traditional stare-down, which surprisingly did not descend into chaos.
