“I don’t know who’s going to win but I’m going to put my money on Izzy. I don’t think Izzy is a knockout fighter, he likes to play around, make his points…I like the way he fights; not to take away that Vettori is not a good fighter but I feel comfortable with him [Adesanya]…I put my money on him.”
