00:04the Red White and Black at the Ultimate Fighting Championships. His record now
00:08stands at 16 wins and 2 losses after moving up a weight class and losing
00:12unanimously to TJ Laramie. It's a risk he knew he had to take and now he's
00:18planning his next move. I am going back to the drawing board actually to be
00:23honest I felt like I felt like a pressure is lift off of me like I lost
00:32again and something just the pressure of losing is lift I I think I don't even
00:42have the pressure of losing anymore because we all win we all lose you can
00:46see Adesanya is one of the best in the world he lost his last fight anything
00:50can happen in this game so that is why I release that pressure of losing now
00:54now when you see me going there you're gonna see the real honey badger. He says
00:58he's been getting offers for other fights and has sent a warning to his
01:02next opponent. And I'm over the fear of losing so I'm going in there a free guy
01:08I've lost already once I've lost twice I'm going there a free guy and the world
01:14is gonna see all my tools all my tools at hand and I'm gonna try my utmost best
01:20to finish those guys in devastating fashion that is what Dana White like to
01:24see he like to see a finish guys in devastating fashion and that is my next
01:29goal now to demolish everybody in my pathway. While his heart and mind is
01:33locked in on the mission, Wilkins is still hindered by traveling issues. It's
01:38an issue he needs to find an answer to if he is to attain his dream of getting
01:43A-level training to prepare to face the best. So the US is the next best place
01:47for wrestling for MMA and I do not have my US visa so I was looking at the next
01:53best option which is will be Russia so I've decided that I'm gonna try for my
02:00US visa again if I could get government assistance by letter or something
02:06because come on I'm the king of the Caribbean for mixed martial arts and the
02:12king of the Caribbean need to make it to the UFC and I think the only way to make
02:16it to the UFC for me I have to train with the best in the world. Back in TNT
