Davido and Adesanya

At the Eden Festival in New Zealand, it was a night to remember when popular performer Davido teamed up with Adesanya.

Davido wished Adesanya good luck before his last fight against Sean Strickland at UFC 293; the Stylebender eventually lost.

As the UFC fighter danced and engaged with the audience, the ecstatic atmosphere at the concert was further heightened.

Both Adesanya and Davido were able to interact with their supporters more directly during the event.
