I won’t lie, it sucks. Not anymore. Grief comes in waves for me, for most people. It comes in waves. I’ve had great days but I’ve also had days where [this sucks].

“I spoke to Eugene face-to-face and told him I’m not coming back to CKB,” Adesanya said in a YouTube video. “It was something a long time coming behind the scenes, and we have an understanding. It’s bittersweet, but it’s the right thing for me, especially where I am in my career. It’s exactly what I needed. Insanity is doing the same s—t over and over, expecting different results.”
