Israel Adesanya Remains Perfect With Second-Round Knockout
4 years agoIsrael Adesanya moved to 20-0 in his career with a destructive second-round knockout of Paulo Costa in Saturday's main event. Adesanya peppered Costa with kicks throughout the contest. With 55 significant strikes landed, 24 were to Costa's head while 26 were to his legs. As expected, no takedowns were even attempted by either fighter. Adesanya landed a big left hand that dropped Costa in the second round. After pouncing on the challenger, he rained down shots until the referee called a stop to the action. Adesanya looks to be at the beginning of a run similar to Anderson Silva, who ruled this same division for years. There is no reason to not roster Adesanya in the future.
