Israel Adesanya's Middleweight Reign Comes To An End
2 years agoThe reign of dominant middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has come to a temporary end after his fifth-round TKO loss to rival Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 281 on Saturday. Though he was up on the judges' scorecards 3-1 heading into the fifth and final round, Pereira used his superior striking game to earn a TKO stoppage after several unanswered strikes to Adesanya against the cage. It would not be a surprise for us to see an immediate rematch of these two fighters.
