Adeshina started practicing mixed martial arts for self-protection after being bullied. “It was more of a self-protection type of thing. Everyone has been bullied once in their lifetime, and one day you wake up and say, no more getting bullied,” he said, in an interview with LowKick MMA.
Adeshina explains that he did not set out to become a professional athlete.
